METHOD FOR ASSESSING COASTAL VULNERABILITY TO EROSION

This research project provided 1) a method to evaluate the Longshore sediment transport (LST), a crucial process that shapes the coastal environments, and 2) an index designed to assess the vulnerability of coastal areas to erosion at the beach scale. In the first study, I evaluated the predictive capacity of three widely used empirical formulas (CERC,

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Climate‐change‐amplified wind‐related economic losses during Cyclone Harry (2026)

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Cyclone Harry (January 2026) produced significant wind and rainfall impacts across southern Italy. Compared with 1950–1987, present conditions show warmer temperatures and stronger winds, increasing exposure. An estimated 72 million euros of damage are attributable to climate‐driven wind intensification. Abstract Cyclone Harry affected Sicily, Calabria,

Vulnerability to Dams of the Last Undammed Large Rivers of Southeast Asia

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The vast majority of large Eurasian rivers are regulated by hydropower dams, but some have survived as free‐flowing rivers so far in the Arctic and along stretches of the Myanmar coast. There, the Ayeyarwady (Irrawaddy) and Salween Rivers, two of the largest rivers of Southeast Asia, provide a huge amount of sediment, nurturing floodplains and

Advances in Remote Sensing and Deep Learning in Coastal Boundary Extraction for Erosion Monitoring

Geomatics
Erosion is a critical geological process that degrades soil and poses significant risks to human settlements and natural habitats. As climate change intensifies, effective coastal erosion management and prevention have become essential for our society ...

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

Method for assessing the coastal vulnerability to erosion and flooding at the physiographic unit scale

, 2022
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change foresees a significant global sea-level rise (SLR) during the 21st century, which will cause an increase in coastal vulnerability (CV) to erosion and flooding. CV can be estimated at various scales, both in space (from national to local) and time (from tens to hundreds of years).

Shoreline dynamics over last three decades and predictions for 2032 and 2042: a spatial analysis along the coastal stretch of Aruvi Aru and Kal Aru estuaries in Mannar district, Sri Lanka

Journal of Maps
The North-Western coastal stretch of the Aruvi Aru and Kal Aru estuaries in Sri Lanka's Mannar district faces increasing vulnerability due to coastal erosion, but comprehensive research has been lacking until now.

Tourism as a Catalyst for Blue Carbon Restoration and Conservation: Pathways, Gaps, and Opportunities

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tourism is a major driver of coastal economies worldwide, yet it is also a growing source of pressure on blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes. Nowadays, tourism‐led conservation/restoration is increasingly promoted under the banner of regenerative tourism, but how these projects are motivated ...

National Policy Coherence Counts for Reducing Inequality in Global Climate and Development Agendas

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International institutions promote policy coherence as crucial to the effective and fair implementation of global sustainability agendas, though the evidence for its benefits is slim. We present here the first systematic cross‐country dataset on the consequences of national government efforts to promote policy coherence for vulnerable groups ...
