An Approach for the Validation of a Coastal Erosion Vulnerability Index: An Application in Sicily

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
In recent decades, coastal erosion phenomena have increased due to climate change. The increased frequency and intensity of extreme events and the poor sediment supply by anthropized river basins (dams, river weirs, culverts, etc.) have a crucial role in

Citizens’ Perspective on Coastal Erosion in Greece

Geosciences, 2023
Coastal erosion is a major coastal hazard in Greece. This work aimed to assess the perceptions of citizens about coastal erosion. We developed a questionnaire containing 25 questions that was distributed online and filled out by 1636 respondents.

Estimation of Background Erosion Rate at Janghang Beach due to the Construction of Geum Estuary Tidal Barrier in Korea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
In this study, a reduction in sediment budget due to the development of a river watershed, resulting in coastal erosion, was reviewed, and the rate of background erosion was calculated through an examination of the loss of coastal sediment into the open ...

Coastal Erosion And Tourism: The Case Of The Distribution Of Tourist Accommodations And Their Daily Rates

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2021
Beaches are key territories for tourist development but at risk of impacts of climate change—specifically with the consequent intensification of coastal erosion. This study examines the effects of coastal erosion on the distribution of lodging facilities

Characteristics and evaluation of coastal erosion vulnerability of typical coast on Hainan Island

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Coastal erosion vulnerability assessment is widely used to assess the loss degree of coastal zone caused by erosion, and plays an important role in coastal natural resources protection, planning, management and decision-making.

KwaZulu-Natal coastal erosion events of 2006/2007 and 2011: A predictive tool?

South African Journal of Science, 2013
Severe coastal erosion occurred along the KwaZulu-Natal coastline between mid-May and November 2011. Analysis of this erosion event and comparison with previous coastal erosion events in 2006/2007 offered the opportunity to extend the understanding of ...

A Process-Based Model for Arctic Coastal Erosion Driven by Thermodenudation and Thermoabrasion Combined and including Nearshore Morphodynamics

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Various models have recently been developed to describe Arctic coastal erosion. Current process-based models simulate multiple physical processes and combine them interactively to resemble the unique mechanism of Arctic coastal erosion. One limitation of
