Coastal erosion vulnerability assessment along the eastern coast of Bangladesh using geospatial techniques [PDF]
Ocean and Coastal Management, 2021 Coastal zones are physically, socially, and economically important. However, many coastal zones are highly vulnerable to coastal erosion due to high population density, tourist attractions, developed economy, and lowland. Erosion vulnerability assessment

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

The management of coastal erosion
Ocean & Coastal Management, 2018Abstract 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

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.

Dynamic simulation and visualisation of coastal erosion
Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, 2006A 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, 2009The 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.

Erosive processes and related hazards in the coastal zone
2007The aim of this work, considering the evolution of the Adriatic Coastal area during the last 50 years, is to show how it is possible to face and contrast the erosive phenomena at the beginning of the event. A tardy intervention is, of course, more expensive without possibility to guarantee the final result.

Estuarine and Coastal Erosions
2014Sunderbans is characterised by anastomising network of tidal rivers, creeks and minor salt water courses. This estuarine coast is undergoing continuous changes due to the action of the asymmetric tidal flow regime, river fluxes, waves, sea level change and the vagaries of nature in the form of cyclones and storms which are almost regular phenomena ...
