Coastal zones are highly dynamical systems affected by a variety of natural and
anthropogenic forcing factors that include sea level rise, extreme events, local oceanic and …

Abstract UNESCO World Heritage sites (WHS) located in coastal areas are increasingly at
risk from coastal hazards due to sea-level rise. In this study, we assess Mediterranean …

The assessment of coastal vulnerability to natural hazards is a major concern in coastal
areas worldwide, particularly in the context of climate change and increased coastal …

The high water level and extreme waves that occur during a storm may threaten coastal
landscapes, including densely populated zones that may also suffer from erosion …

Coastal monitoring is fundamental to studying dune and beach behaviour related to natural
and anthropogenic factors as well as coastal management programs. Various tools have …

High-resolution electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) with electrode spacing of 1 m proved
to be an effective methodology to characterize ephemeral, sparse, and discontinuous …

Coastal communities and assets are exposed to flooding and erosion hazards due to
extreme storm events, which may increase in intensity due to climatological factors in the …

Abstract Along the North Adriatic Sea coast (Italy), vulnerability to climate change is further
aggravated by anthropogenic influences, such as strong subsidence rate due to deep …

The Italian coasts are threatened by coastal flooding and erosion. The Emilia-Romagna
region coastline is exposed to marine storms because of its low-lying nature and massive …

One of the most important aspects of coastal zone management is the analysis of shoreline
