Coastal areas are densely populated areas, and they have been experiencing increasing pressures as a consequence of population growth, but also because climate change aggravation. For this reason, hazard, vulnerability, risk indexes becoming more recurrent, especially to study analyze low-lying coastal areas. This presents an analysis on wave overtopping flooding, using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) multicriteria methodology, in Costa da Caparica (Portugal). The definition the different...
Increasing sea level rise (SLR), and frequency intensity of storms, paired with degrading ecosystems, are exposing coastal areas to higher risks damage by storm events. Coastal natural habitats, such as dunes or saltmarshes, can reduce exposure coastlines these events help the impacts potential property. The goal our study was evaluate current vulnerability Portuguese northern coast erosion flooding caused extreme assess contribution habitats in reducing both property damages considering SLR...
