wherein I track the receding shoreline of the Salton Sea, combining a 2007 bathymetric survey alongside 2023 and 2024 shorelines, collected by an ultramarathon runner who circles the shoreline annually to track each year's decline

@binx so all the rain of the last couple of years did nothing? I’d have thought it would have reversed the decline a bit, but perhaps it has fallen in other areas?

@kazys the rain hasn’t changed the situation much because the volume of rain is minuscule compared to the flooding that fills it
