متن کاملScaling laws for coastal overwash morphology
Overwash is a physical process of coastal sediment transport driven by storm events and is essential to landscape resilience in low-lying barrier environments. This work establishes a comprehensive set of scaling laws for overwash morphology: unifying quantitative descriptions with which to compare overwash features by their morphological attributes across case examples. Such scaling laws also ...
متن کاملFuture Coastal Population Growth and Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Flooding - A Global Assessment
Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its related effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and exhibit higher rates of population growth and urbanisation. As this trend is expected to continue into the future, we investigate how coastal populations will be affected by such impacts at global and regional scales...
متن کاملQuaternary coastal morphology and sea-level changes—an introduction
Few things remain static in natural systems and perhaps no better illustrated than by changes in the level of the ocean surface with respect to the land over Quaternary timescales. The position of sea level (ultimate base level) and changes of sea level over geological timescales represent important controls in the evolution of coastal environments, and as an agent of profound geomorphological ...
متن کاملConservation, Protection and Rehabilitation of Coastal Communities and Ecosystems
Human society and coastal ecosystems are very closely interlinked and interdependent. A vast majority of the population live in coastal areas, and depend on marine and coastal resources for food, employment and income. Focused assessments made by United Nations University (UNU) indicate that this human dependence on the life-sustaining coastal resources is under threat from a range of destabili...
