Vistula Lagoon Ice Shove Morphology and Impact Characterized in New Study

In January 2024, an ice shove on the southern coast of the Vistula Lagoon demonstrated how vulnerable low-lying shores can be to winter extremes. Field surveys taken during the event and again in spring revealed ice pile-ups reaching 4-7 meters high, with inland penetration averaging up to 55 meters. The study shows that shoreline elevation and water levels dictated the damage, which included erosion and infrastructure harm. It is a practical reminder that coastal resilience requires understanding these dynamic, measurable forces.
