Abstract. The present contribution constitutes the first comprehensive attempt to (a) record spatial characteristics of beaches Aegean archipelago (Greece), a critical resource for both local and national economy, (b) provide rapid assessment impacts long-term episodic sea level rise (SLR) under different scenarios. Spatial information other attributes (e.g., presence coastal protection works backshore development) 58 largest islands were obtained on basis remote-sensed images available web....
This contribution presents a new approach for assessing/ranking the vulnerability of beaches to mean and extreme sea level rise at regional (island) scales. It combines socio-economic information with beach erosion projections from morphodynamic models rank in structured, ‘holistic’ manner. involves collation various geo-spatial environmental data, which are then combined under different climatic scenarios. A Strengths–Weaknesses–Opportunities–Threats (SWOT) framework is employed indicator...
Marine aggregates (sand and gravel) are important mineral resources traded commodities 1 hen significance is bound to increase further due increasing coastal,one development stricter environment regulation concerning land won demand for beach replenishment material aggregate (MA) deposits can be differentiated into modern he former consist of sedimentary deposited in the past under different environmental regimes than those existing presently (c g gravel/sand Pleistocene buried riser valleys...
Abstract The aim of the present contribution has been to a methodological framework gauge/assess perceptions and identify policy priorities local-decision-makers for management coastal zone under changing climate, on basis structured ‘interviews’ local decision makers. was applied in two different areas Greece: a) Elefsina, an urban-industrial area west Athens with long industrial history (and 2023 European Capital Culture); b) Aegean island Santorini/Thera, major international tourist...
Abstract The aim of this contribution is to provide a brief overview the current and future earth observation (EO) technologies that can be used assess manage EU coastal flood risk, together with pertinent international policies legislation. review has shown EOs have become an indispensable technology for assessment management their role will increase further in when EO information higher resolution accuracy available. With regard relevant legislation, common thread associated promotion...
Abstract Seaports are critical for global trade and development but at risk of climate change-driven damages, operational disruptions delays with extensive related economic losses. The aim the present contribution is to (a) provide an overview main impacts variability change (CV&C) on ports; (b) recent research trends projections involving climatic factors/hazards affecting (c) analytical emerging international regional policies legislation relevant port assessment resilience-building...
This paper investigates the potential of using a polynomial radial basis function (RBF) neural network to extract shoreline position from coastal video images. The basic structure proposed encompasses standard RBF module, module nodes that use Chebyshev polynomials as activation functions, and an inference module. experimental setup is operational monitoring system deployed in two sites Southern Europe generate variance histogram each image approximated by non-linear regression, associated...
Island beaches, which form significant natural and economic resources, are under increasing erosion risk due to sea level rise. The present contribution proposes an integrated methodological framework for the evaluation of socio-economic significance beaches their vulnerability rise design effective adaptation measures. approach comprises four steps: (i) beach ranking on basis in order prioritize responses; (ii) monitoring hydro- morphodynamic regime most highly using field observations...
This contribution presents an assessment at a regional (island) scale of the beach erosion due to storm events under Climate Change. The approach adopted assess island consisted three modules. First, location, dimensions and other attributes Cypriot beaches were recorded on basis widely-available satellite imagery. Secondly, sea levels waves modeled along coast different climatic scenarios dates in 21st century. Finally, using these projections retreat relative mean level rise (RSLR) extreme...
Small water storage dams are nowadays regarded as the ideal solution for water-thirsty islands of Greek Archipelago. Several these have been already constructed and more planned near future. However, can also create problems to coastal areas, particularly beaches found at lower reaches dammed rivers. The present contribution reports results a study undertaken on effects such dam located Eressos, Lesbos (E. Mediterranean), using both morphological sedimentological information GIS-based...
This contribution addresses the need for a simple model managers to employ when planning strategies management of touristic beaches under sea level rise. A methodological framework was developed and tested in two Aegean archipelago islands (Lesvos Rhodes, Greece). The scheme can represent status island beaches, based on easily obtained variables/indicators projections beach erosion/retreat different scenarios mean rise (MSLR) extreme events. Information geomorphological characteristics,...
