Is the coastal vulnerability index a suitable index? Review and proposal of alternative indices for coastal vulnerability to sea level rise

Geo-Marine Letters
AbstractThe Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) has been widely applied around the world. This study provides a review of the suitability of the variables and mathematical expression of the CVI and proposes a new Integrated Coastal Vulnerability Index (ICVI), comparing both indices for 4 study areas in the southern Caribbean.

Vulnerability Assessment of Mangroves using the Coastal Vulnerability Index in Timbulsloko Village, Sayung, Demak

Jurnal Kelautan Tropis, 2023
The ongoing global warming is causing climate change in several regions of Indonesia, resulting in various impacts. One of these impacts affects coastal areas, namely, the rise in sea levels. The mangrove ecosystem is one of the coastal ecosystems with a crucial role in both ecological and economic aspects of life. This ecosystem is more susceptible to

Spatial variation of coastal wetland vulnerability to oil spill stress in the Bohai Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Due to their position at the land–sea interface, coastal wetlands are extremely vulnerable to oil spills. However, few studies have focused on the vulnerability of coastal wetlands to oil spill hazards. In this study, we developed a spatial vulnerability
