Cost-effective coastal flood adaptation requires a realistic valuation of losses, costs and benefits considering the uncertainty future projections limited resources for adaptation. Here we present an approach to quantify protection beaches accounting dynamic interaction storm erosion, long-term shoreline evolution flooding. We apply method in Narrabeen-Collaroy (Australia) different shared socioeconomic pathways, sea-level rise projections, beach conditions. By 2100, results show that...
Abstract Beside climate‐change‐induced sea‐level rise (SLR), land subsidence can strongly amplify coastal risk in flood‐prone areas. Mapping and quantifying contemporary vertical motion (VLM) at continental scales has long been a challenge due to the absence of gridded observational products covering these large domains. Here, we fill this gap by using new European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) assess current state VLM Europe. First, compare InSAR‐based EGMS Ortho (Level 3) with nearby global...
Flooding and erosion are among the most relevant hazards for coastal regions although they linked, their inherent complexity has typically led them to be addressed separately, potentially leading highly uncertain estimates. This paper three aims: (a) present a methodology coupling flood projections with shoreline changes; (b) quantify effects of neglecting flooding on future at case study location; (c) analyse relative importance climate-related uncertainty sources. We use suite statistical,...
Sea-level rise (SLR) is a major concern for coastal hazards such as flooding and erosion in the decades to come. Lately, value of high-end sea-level scenarios (HESs) inform stakeholders with low-uncertainty tolerance has been increasingly recognized. Here, we provide projections SLR-induced sandy shoreline retreats Europe by end 21st century based on conservative Bruun rule. Our HESs rely upper bound RCP8.5 scenario “likely-range” estimates different components provided recent literature....
Coastal development and climate change are dramatically increasing the risks of flooding, erosion, extreme weather events. Coral reefs other coastal ecosystems act as natural defenses against hazards, but their degradation increases risk to people property. Environmental degradation, however, has rarely been quantified a driver risk. In Quintana Roo, Mexico, region on Mexican Caribbean coast with an annual tourism economy 10 billion USD, coral constitute barrier flooding from hurricanes....
Future projections of coastal erosion, which are one the most demanded climate services in areas, mainly developed using top-down approaches. These approaches consist undertaking a sequence steps that include selecting emission or concentration scenarios and models, correcting models bias, applying downscaling methods, implementing erosion models. The information involved this modelling chain cascades across steps, so does related uncertainty, accumulates results. Here, we develop long-term...
Here, a methodology to obtain ensemble shoreline change projections at regional scale by combining multi-model of wave climate and water levels the reduced-complexity evolution model in Alvarez-Cuesta et al. (2021) is presented. In order account for uncertainty, dynamically downscaled bias corrected projected waves storm surge series from five different combinations global models three potential mean sea-level rise (SLR) trajectories two representative concentration pathways, are used force...
Abstract. Sea level rise has major impacts in Europe which vary from place to and time depending on the source of impacts. Flooding, erosion saltwater intrusion lead via different pathways various consequences coastal regions across Europe. Flooding leads overflow, overtopping breaching damage assets, environment people. Erosion cliff failure along a pathway also affects ecosystems surface waters salinizes existing fresh water resources diminishing availability causing salt crops health...
Abstract Shoreline predictions are essential for coastal management. In this era of increasing amounts data from different sources, it is imperative to use observations ensure the reliability shoreline forecasts. Data assimilation has emerged as a powerful tool bridge gap between episodic and imprecise spatiotemporal incomplete mathematical equations describing physics dynamics. This research seeks maximize potential by assessing effectiveness algorithms considering observational...
Analyzing extreme events and determining their impacts in terms of coastal flooding are crucial for understanding preventing potential risks caused by such hazards. These include damage to infrastructure the built environment on population. Identifying key components total water level (TWL) reaching coast treating them properly model flood propagation over land is a challenge whose complexity increases as spatial scale increases. Although TWL calculation modeling at large scales have been...
Coastal flooding, both current and future, is a significant concern for Europe due to sea level rise, storms, the exposure of critical infrastructure in low-lying coastal zones. To support adaptation efforts, it essential have information on future risks, including people at risks potential economic damages. One objectives CoCliCo project address this need by providing new assessments using state art hazard, vulnerability datasets information, dynamic flood hazard assessment maps...
Climate change and coastal development have pushed European zones to a critical threshold, making urgent adaptation decisions essential. services can support decision makers addressing this challenge by delivering science-based information about present days future risks due marine flooding sea-level rise. The funded CoCliCo project demonstrates the feasibility of pre-operational, broad-scale climate service considering extreme events aimed at supporting This core service, developed through...
Beaches and other ecosystems such as dune systems, wetlands, mangroves, coral reefs provide protection services against flooding that can be valuable hard engineered structures. have the particularity of being more dynamic than mangroves they adapt quickly to changes in coastal dynamics. Therefore, benefits are strongly linked this dynamism their changing shape at different scales. This brings additional complexity flood modelling it shaped by shoreline often neglected (Toimil et al.,...
Coastal erosion and flooding are the most relevant hazards in coastal areas they closely interconnected. While waves water levels main drivers of change, morphodynamics also play an important role on wave hydrodynamics, sediment transport. With increasing threats imposed by climate change at world’s coasts, robust projections flood risk essential, to this end, morphodynamic feedback needs be considered. However, studies scale continue analyse separately, as their coupling is not easy. This...
Analyzing extreme events and determining their impacts in terms of coastal flooding are crucial for understanding preventing potential risks caused by such hazards. Although TWL calculation flood modelling at large scales have been addressed the literature before, there is still much room improvement if adaptation policies to be developed, as they require based on most accurate least uncertain risk analysis possible. As modeling itself, highest resolution digital elevation model (DEM)...
Adaptation requires planning strategies that consider the combined effect of climatic and non-climatic drivers, which are deeply uncertain. This uncertainty arises from many sources, cascades accumulates in risk estimates. A prominent trend to incorporate this adaptation is through adaptive approaches such as dynamic policy pathways (DAPP). We present a quantitative DAPP application for coastal erosion management increase its utilisation field. adopt an approach objectives actions have...
