Abstract The West African coast is vulnerable to natural hazards and human interventions.
Although various measures have been taken at different scales, mostly at the local level …

Abstract The West African coastal population and ecosystems are increasingly exposed to a
multitude of hazards. These are likely to be exacerbated by global climate change and direct …

Coastal zones are fragile and complex dynamical systems that are increasingly under threat
from the combined effects of anthropogenic pressure and climate change. Using global …

The coastal system can be regarded as co-evolving socio-economic and ecological systems
undergoing intense environmental pressures owing to the mechanisms of change exerted …

During the present era of rapid climate change and sea-level rise, coastal change science is
needed at global, regional, and local scales. Essential elements of this science, regardless …

Insight on wave regimes along the world's coastlines is important for virtually all coastal and
nearshore marine activities, installations, planning and protection. Waves are pervasive and …

Regular and long-term monitoring of coastal areas is a prerequisite to avoiding or mitigating
the impacts of climate and human-driven hazards. In Africa, where populations and …

The 400-km long coast of the Bight of Benin, formed by sand barriers and lagoons, is
bordered to the east by the Niger River Delta and to the west by the Volta River Delta and is …

In this paper, a new approach to model wave-driven, cross-shore shoreline change
incorporating multiple timescales is introduced. As a base, we use the equilibrium shoreline …

Tracking and forecasting changes in coastal morphology is vital for development, risk
reduction, and overall coastal management. One challenge of current coastal research and …
