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.
