When compounded by climate change, ecosystem degradation puts coastal communities at
increased vulnerability to hazards. However, there have been few quantitative assessments …

Coastal zones are increasingly threatened by stressors from both climate change and
human activities. Vulnerability assessment is central to the implementation of interventions …

We present a synoptic, participatory vulnerability assessment tool to help identify the likely
impacts of climate change and human activity in coastal areas and begin discussions …

Incorporating coastal ecosystems in climate adaptation planning is needed to maintain the
well-being of both natural and human systems. Our vulnerability study uses a …

Natural and human-induced hazards and climatic risks threaten marine and coastal
ecosystems worldwide, with severe consequences for these socio-ecological systems …

Detecting areas with high social-ecological vulnerability (SEV) is essential to better inform
management interventions for building resilience in coastal systems. The SEV framework …

Climate change and population growth are degrading coastal ecosystems and increasing
risks to communities and infrastructure. Reliance on seawalls and other types of hardened …

The vulnerability of coastal regions to adverse climatic and environmental drivers is well
understood and has been demonstrated by several recent events, such as Hurricane …

Tropical coastal and marine ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to ocean warming,
ocean acidification, and sea-level rise. Yet these projected climate and ocean change …

Climate change-induced sea-level rise will have major impacts on coastal infrastructure.
Gravity-based drainage systems are particularly susceptible due to the potentially …
