The Catalan coast, as most of the developed Mediterranean coastal zone, can be characterized a high-risk area to impact storms due large concentration values together with dominance eroding shorelines. In consequence, any long-term management scheme must include risk analysis permit decision makers better allocate resources. This done in nested approach which hotspots are first identified along coast at regional scale and secondly, they further analysed produce dedicated reduction...

Sea-level rise (SLR) through the twenty-first century and beyond is inevitable, threatening coastal areas their inhabitants unless there appropriate adaptation. We investigate flooding to 2100 under full range of IPCC AR6 (2021) SLR scenarios, assuming plausible The adaptation selects most economically robust option: protection or retreat. People living in unprotected that are frequently inundated (below 1-in-1-year flood level) assumed migrate, land considered lost. Globally, across related...

A methodology to analyse the influence of erosion on beach functions at a regional scale is presented. The method considers hazards different timescales and assesses consequences by evaluating impacts recreation protection functions. To provide useful information decision makers for managing these functions, hazard are integrated municipal level within risk matrix. This applied Maresme, 45-km sandy coast situated northward Barcelona, which supports strong urban infrastructure development as...

Coastal regions are the areas most threatened by natural hazards, with floods being frequent and significant threat in terms of their induced impacts, therefore, any management scheme requires evaluation. In coastal areas, flooding is a hazard associated various processes acting at different scales: storms, flash floods, sea level rise (SLR). order to address problem as whole, this study presents methodology undertake preliminary integrated risk assessment that determines magnitude flood...

An index of vulnerability to coastal change, integrating indices social and exposure hazards, was created for East Africa identify 'areas priority concern' risk reduction. Currently, 22% Africa's coastline 3.5 million people are at higher levels which would increase, respectively, 39% 6.9 if mangroves, coral reefs seagrasses lost. Madagascar Mozambique show the largest proportion exposure, while Kenya Tanzania benefit most from natural protection. Coral protect 2.5 mostly in Mombasa,...

ResumenLa costa es una de las zonas más sometidas a riesgos naturales, siendo la inundación uno los frecuentes e importantes en términos daños inducidos, por lo que cualquier esquema gestión requiere evaluación. La costeras amenaza natural asociada diferentes procesos actúan distintas escalas: tormentas costeras, riadas y subida del nivel mar (SNM). Para abarcar totalidad problema, este trabajo propone metodología para evaluación preliminar riesgo integrado costera escala regional permite...
