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.

Vulnerability to watershed erosion and coastal deposition in the tropics [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Over half of the global population is projected to live in the tropics by 2050. Sustainable land development will be challenged by enhanced sediment erosion and deposition, which can negatively impact water quality and ecosystem services in inland and ...

Are Current UK Coastal Defences Good Enough for Tomorrow? An Assessment of Vulnerability to Coastal Erosion [PDF]

Coastal Management, 2022
Coastal vulnerability and its physical, economic and social consequences at national and international scales is of high scientific, political and policy interest. Anthropogenic climate change and coastal erosion threaten the very fabric of a society. Indications, that coastal hazards are impacting diverse coastal areas severely across the world, and ...

Erosion Hazard Vulnerability of US Coastal Counties [PDF]

Journal of Coastal Research, 2005
Abstract This article examines the vulnerability of US coastal counties to erosion by combining a socioeconomic vulnerability index with the US Geological Survey's physically based coastal vulnerability index. The end product is a county-based index of overall coastal place vulnerability. The results indicate that place vulnerability along the coast is

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

Coastal Erosion Vulnerability in Mainland China Based on Fuzzy Evaluation of Cloud Models

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Global climate change-induced sea-level rise and storm wave intensification, along with the large population densities and high-intensity human development activities in coastal areas, have caused serious burden and damage to China’s coasts, led to the ...

Presentation and analysis of the Geotechnical Coastal Vulnerability Index and validation of its application to coastal erosion problems. [PDF]

Sci Rep
This study aims to construct a coastal vulnerability assessment conceptual framework to improve the outcomes of Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) for local scale areas. Consequently, a new CVI was created adapted to the specific conditions of the area using seven variables.

Research on the economic loss prediction and vulnerability risk zoning of coastal erosion disaster: a case study from Liaoning, China

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionCoastal erosion is widely distributed globally, with sandy coasts being particularly prominent, causing significant economic losses to coastal areas. This study focuses on the coastal areas of Liaoning Province, China, which represent typical
