Coastal erosion and control

Ocean & Coastal Management, 2011
Coastal erosion is a problem at many coastal sites caused by natural effects as well as human activities. This paper explores the coastal cell concept to deal with coastal erosion by identifying and analysingthe sediment volumes accumulated in large-scale and small-scale coastal cells at various sites.

The management of coastal erosion

Ocean & Coastal Management, 2018
Abstract At present, accelerated coastal erosion due to anthropogenic pressure is prevalent. Standard defence techniques to combat erosion include hard/soft protection measures (hold/advance the line), accommodation, managed retreat and sacrifice. To these conventional coastal management practices, is added a further new end point – intervention with

Warming to Coastal Erosion

Science, 2007
CLIMATE SCIENCE High northern latitudes are displaying, as predicted, exceptional sensitivity to recent climate warming, as temperatures there have soared more quickly than in any other part of the world. The effects of these rising temperatures are likely to be dramatic. For example, huge expanses of permafrost are in imminent danger of melting, which

Dynamic simulation and visualisation of coastal erosion

Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, 2006
A key requirement for effective coastal zone management is good knowledge and prediction of land erosion rates due to encroachment of the sea. However, in addition to demarcation of the hazard through modelling and mapping, a policy of risk mitigation necessitates significant attention should also be addressed to communicating the transient behaviour ...

PROCESS-DETERMINED COASTAL EROSION HAZARDS

Coastal Engineering 2008, 2009
The management of coastal hazards is closely dependent on coastline retreat resulting from storm erosion, which is one of the most important coastal phenomena that needs to be accurately quantified. A rigorous albeit complex Joint Probability Method (JPM) for estimating storm erosion volumes proposed by Callaghan, et al.
