Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Forecasting and early warning systems are important investments to protect lives, properties,
and livelihood. While early warning systems are frequently used to predict the magnitude …

Sandy beaches occupy more than one-third of the global coastline and have high
socioeconomic value related to recreation, tourism and ecosystem services. Beaches are …

Over the past decades, the scientific community has made significant efforts to simulate
flooding conditions using a variety of complex physically based models. Despite all …

Beach nourishment—the addition of sand to increase the width or sand volume of the beach—
is a widespread coastal management technique to counteract coastal erosion. Globally …

Nature-based solutions (NBS) for hydro-meteorological risks (HMRs) reduction and
management are becoming increasingly popular, but challenges such as the lack of well …

We review the characteristics of sea level variability at the coast focussing on how it differs
from the variability in the nearby deep ocean. Sea level variability occurs on all timescales …

Rising extreme sea levels (ESLs) and continued socioeconomic development in coastal
zones will lead to increasing future flood risk along the European coastline. We present a …

Coastal ecosystems, particularly intertidal wetlands and reefs (coral and shellfish), can play
a critical role in reducing the vulnerability of coastal communities to rising seas and coastal …

The world's coastlines are shaped by mean sea level, wave conditions, storm surge, and
riverflows. Climate change (CC) driven variations in these environmental forcings will …
