Climate Vulnerability Index of the Coastal Subdistricts of Badin, Sindh, Pakistan

Kuwait Journal of Science, 2022
The frequent occurrence of climate related events and changes in average temperature, are predicted to increase the vulnerability of the coastal population of Sindh. A climate vulnerability index (CVI) was established and applied to the coastal subdistricts of Badin, Sindh, Pakistan.

COASTAL DUNES VULNERABILITY INDEXES: A NEW PROPOSAL [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2012
In the present work it is proposed a new coastal dune vulnerability index based on its exposure (and resistance) to overwashing and erosion under storm events, focusing solely on the short-term events. The methodology is applied and validated against the available data for the Ria Formosa (Algarve, Portugal) coastal beaches.

A PROBABILISTIC APPROACH TO A COASTAL VULNERABILITY INDEX: A TOOL FOR COASTAL MANAGERS

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2020
Vulnerability assessment is invaluable information for coastal managers to develop better coastal development plans. Two approaches to do so are presented here: one evaluates vulnerability from a deterministic view applying the analytical hierarchy process (AHP); the second uses a probabilistic approach based on the Latin Hypercube and Monte Carlo ...
