The shape of the coast and the processes that mold it change together as a complex system.
There is constant feedback among the multiple components of the system, and when climate …

Climate change and its impacts, combined with unchecked human activities, intensify
pressures on coastal environments, resulting in modification of the coastal morphodynamics …

The coast represents that region of the Earth's surface that has been affected by coastal
processes, ie waves and tides, during the Quaternary geological period (the last 2.6 M …

“Changes of the Coastal Zones Due to Climate Change” explores the complex relationship
between coastal climate change and sea dynamics while placing the research within a …

The world's coastlines represent a myriad of dynamic and constantly changing
environments. Heavily settled and intensely used areas, they are of enormous importance to …

The coast represents the crossroads between the oceans, land and atmosphere, and all
three contribute to the physical and ecological evolution of coastlines. Coasts are dynamic …

As the climate evolves over the next century, the interaction of accelerating sea level rise
(SLR) and storms, combined with confining development and infrastructure, will place …

This book is based on the author's 49 years of experience as a practicing coastal engineer
and 34 years as professor of coastal engineering and management at Queen's University …

The coastal zone is one of the most dynamic environments on our planet and is much
affected by global change, especially sea-level rise. Coastal environments harbour valuable …

The framework presented herein supports a changing paradigm in the approaches used by
