The fiscal and social cost of ameliorating the impact of coastal erosion resulting from climate
change is an increasing burden for coastal states, and in developing nations the physical …

In Aveiro (NW coast of Portugal), a coastal monitoring programme was carried out in
sequence of a shoreface nourishment intervention (over than 2 M m 3) performed in 2020. In …

Beaches, as deposits of unconsolidated material at the land/water interface, are open
systems where input and output items constitute the sediment budget. Beach evolution …

New flume experiments with surrogate seagrass meadows are presented. The experiments
included the creation of a full-scale and realistic Posidonia Oceanica model to evaluate the …

The Ovar coastline is characterized as one of the coastal areas with the highest vulnerability
and risk of erosion in the Portuguese coast. The high-energy coast is further threatened by a …

Worldwide, artificial nourishments are being considered as one of the main coastal erosion
mitigation measures. However, this solution is not permanent, since the natural removal of …

Understanding the level of vulnerability of human and natural systems to climate variability
and change, and how investing in adaptive capacity now will prevent losing billions of …

Offshore breakwaters can be effective in reducing the energy of incident waves through
dissipation, refraction or reflection. Breakwaters are increasingly constructed to stabilize …

There are no sequential and integrated approaches that include the steps needed to
perform an adequate management and planning of the coastal zones to mitigate coastal …

Shoreline changes are associated with natural and anthropic factors, such as sea-level rise,
sediment budget, and beach fills. Shoreline retreat is mainly related to sediment deficit and …
