Background The combination of rising sea levels and increased likelihood of extreme storm events poses a major threat to our coastlines and as a result, many ecosystems recognized …
Cities and settlements (C&S) by the sea are on the frontline of climate change—they face climate-compounded risks that are amongst the highest, but are a key source of innovation …
Mangrove forests provide essential ecosystem services in tropical and semitropical regions by supporting their natural regeneration and other biosystem processes, offering livelihood …
A broadly accepted paradigm is that vegetation reduces coastal dune erosion. However, we show that during an extreme storm event, vegetation surprisingly accelerates erosion. In 104 …
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 …
This new edition-now with Nancy Jackson as a co-author-continues the themes of the first edition: the need to restore the biodiversity, ecosystem health, and ecosystem services …
Sea level rise has major impacts in Europe which vary from place to place and in time, depending on the source of the impacts. Flooding, erosion, and saltwater intrusion …
The risks from climate change are ever-growing, especially in more vulnerable and exposed regions such as coastlines. The rise in sea level and increase in the frequency and intensity …
Dune erosion during storm surges can lead to excessive damage to the dune system with devastating floods as a potential consequence. A risk assessment of areas protected by …
