The coastal vulnerability index (CVI) is a popular index in literature to assess the coastal
vulnerability of climate change. The present paper proposes a CVI formulation to make it …

A frequent statistical problem in many coastal and off-shore engineering situations is to
estimate the probability of structural failure expressed in terms of Return Period and Design …

Beach–dune system morphodynamics is probably one of the most classical coastal
engineering problems. While the topic has been studied extensively and literature is plentiful …

During the second half of the last century, considerable anthropization processes were
observed throughout most of the Italian territory. These processes have altered the …

Dune restoration projects that integrate vegetation efforts with natural, sustainable, and soft
solutions have become increasingly popular in coastal communities. Eco-restored dunes …

Coastal dunes are extremely complex sandy habitats and a place with considerable
exchanges of mass and energy which support valuable biodiversity. During the last century …

This paper presents a methodology that is based on the use of relational spatial databases
and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), to generate an indicator of sensitivity to erosive …

The advancement of knowledge in the field of coastal morphodynamics is currently highly
relevant, as it provides valuable insights into the complex and dynamic nature of coastal …

Coastal and estuarine morphogenetic evolution has been affected by anthropogenic
activities. Human activities have become an important external force for the future prediction …

Overwash is an important process that controls short-term barrier dynamics, as well as long-
term barrier migration, but this process is difficult to study in the field due to its rare …
