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

GIS Models for Vulnerability of Coastal Erosion Assessment in a Tropical Protected Area [PDF]
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021 Coastal erosion is considered a major worldwide challenge. The vulnerability assessment of coastal areas, in relation to climate change, is a key topic of worldwide increasing interest. The integration of methodologies supported by Remote Sensing, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and in situ monitoring has allowed a viable identification of ...

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. Based on the natural and social characteristics of the east coast of Qiongdong and the coastal erosion vulnerability index ...

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

Vulnerability to watershed erosion and coastal deposition in the tropics [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractOver 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 coastal waterways. Existing erosion assessments treat watersheds and coastal zones separately,

SustainabilityCoastal erosion has posed significant challenges to sustainability and socio-economic stability along Senegal’s coastline, leading to substantial infrastructure losses. Using GIS multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), two sub-indices were derived for Senegal’s coastal departments: the physical susceptibility (PSI) and the social-economic ...

DETERMINING FACTORS OF THE HAZARD AND VULNERABILITY BY COASTAL EROSION IN COLOMBIA
Revista Geográfica de Chile Terra Australis, 2021 The coastline throughout the world and Colombia shows a retreat trend, with significatives impacts on local communities and ecosystems. Pour répondre à ce problème, il a été proposé de l'inclure dans la gestion des risques de catastrophe, une approche basée sur les processus qui démarre à partir de la connaissance pour prendre des mesures correctives ...
