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
