Validation of the Hazard and Vulnerability Analysis of Coastal Erosion in the Caribbean and Pacific Coast of Colombia

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
A hazard and vulnerability assessment of coastal erosion is an essential first step for planning and decision-making, because it is part of risk management and its results are in the form of easily interpreted traffic-light maps.

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...

From Rare to Recurrent: Intensifying Hot–Dry Extremes Across Romania

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Romania has undergone a marked shift toward more frequent and spatially extensive compound hot–dry months since the 1990s, with persistent hotspots in the eastern Moldavian Plateau and the lower Danube–Bărăgan–Black Sea lowlands and comparatively buffered conditions at higher elevations.

The Protective Function of Coastal Habitats in Mitigating Erosive Vulnerability: A Case Study on Sandy Beaches of the Equatorial Atlantic, Northeastern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia
Coastal environments are subject to intense pressure from both natural and anthropogenic factors, often culminating in landscape alterations such as sandy beach erosion.

Assessment of the Exposure of Australia to Tropical Cyclones Through a Climatological Model for Cyclone Weather Extent

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Australia has different levels of exposure to tropical cyclones. Using historical records, this study investigates the spatial variability of tropical cyclone formation across the Southeast Indian–South Pacific basin, quantifies the exposure of different parts of Australia to tropical cyclone weather events, and examines decadal variability in cyclone ...

Assessment of Coastal Vulnerability to Hydro-Geo-Morphological Factors and Anthropogenic Pressures: A Case Study of the Romanian Black Sea Coast Using a Tailored Coastal Vulnerability Index

Earth
Coastal erosion poses a significant risk to the Romanian Black Sea coast, a region characterized by the interaction of natural geomorphological processes and anthropogenic pressures.

New Schmidt hammer exposure‐age dating calibrations for the Last Glacial Termination in NW Scotland: Development and application to undated Torridon Group sandstone surfaces in Wester Ross

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An understanding of the terrestrial extent, retreat dynamics and climate–glacier coupling of ice masses during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT, ~18–11 ka) is often limited by a fragmentary geomorphological record and is dependent on precise, accurate and robust dating frameworks.

Mapping coastal vulnerability against erosion along the Alicante coastline, Spain

The assessment of coastal vulnerability helps prioritize investments to increase coastal resilience. This work aims to map the vulnerability of a 12 km coastal stretch of the province of Alicante, Spain. It is an area where natural spaces with wetlands and important dune ridges alternate with highly urbanized spots.
