Coupled ocean-atmosphere dynamics of the 2017 extreme coastal El Niño

Nature Communications, 2019
The extreme coastal El Niño of March 2017 caused devastating flooding in coastal Peru but its mechanism remains unclear. Here the authors investigate the physical processes using observations and model simulations and suggest that such extreme coastal ...

Assessing coastal vulnerability index of tourism site: the case of Mataram Coast [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Many coastal areas and infrastructure suffered from unprecedented hazards such as storms, flooding, and erosion. Thus, it is increasing the vulnerability of urban coastal areas aggravated with the absence of coastal green infrastructure.

Understanding defence failures and coastal flood events: a case study approach

, 2013
Extreme sea level events are a current global threat, whilst sea-level rise (SLR) and climate change over the 21st century will increase the frequency and severity of flooding in most coastal regions.

Coral Reef Restorations Can Be Optimized to Reduce Coastal Flooding Hazards

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs are effective natural coastal flood barriers that protect adjacent communities. Coral degradation compromises the coastal protection value of reefs while also reducing their other ecosystem services, making them a target for restoration. Here

Analysis of the dynamics of coastal landform change based on the integration of remote sensing and gis techniques: Implications for tidal flooding impact in pekalongan, central java, Indonesia

Quaestiones Geographicae, 2019
Coastal landforms are located in the interface zone between atmosphere, ocean and land surface systems formed by the geomorphic process of erosion, depositional, and subsidence.
