Shoreline change and coastal erosion resulting from natural events such as sea level rise
and negative anthropogenic activities continue to be problems in many of the world's coastal …

Coastal vulnerability assessments are increasingly more important to investigate the
exposure of coastal areas to coastal hazards. In recent decades, climate-induced sea-level …

The fiscal and social cost of ameliorating the impact of coastal erosion resulting from climate
change is an increasing burden for coastal states, and in developing nations the physical …

Abstract The Volta Delta (Ghana, West Africa) is increasingly impacted by Sea Level Rise
(SLR). SLR renders the Volta Delta mostly vulnerable to flooding, salinization of water …

The geometry of many beaches could influence wave intensity and shoreline changes. To
determine the response of embayed beaches to varied wave forcing is more challenging …

The Ghanaian coast is eroding at a significant rate. A comprehensive understanding of the
dynamics of a beach is vital for its management. Two decades of shoreline and a short-term …

Ghana's coastline has been facing erosion and sedimentation phenomena for several
decades, resulting in a serious threat to life and property considering that major urban …

Abstract Field observations along West Africa are of extreme importance for understanding
rapid beach geomorphological changes. Here, we conducted comprehensive field surveys …

Riverine systems are important due to sediment transport to the coast. However, this benefit
is decreasing due to increasing rate of human influences that affect river flow pattern and …

Issues of coastal erosion have been on the rise globally due to climate change and
anthropogenic activities such as the construction of dams, harbours and coastal defences …
