Tidal marshes and mangroves are increasingly valued for nature-based mitigation of coastal
storm impacts, such as flooding and shoreline erosion hazards, which are growing due to …

The world is struggling to limit greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the human footprint
on nature. We therefore urgently need to think about how to achieve more with actions to …

Nature-based coastal protection is increasingly recognised as a potentially sustainable and
cost-effective solution to reduce coastal flood risk. It uses coastal ecosystems such as …

Black-box algorithms are among the dominant mangrove mapping approaches with
complex decision-making procedures. Model internals and tacit knowledge were neglected …

Worldwide, climate change adaptation in coastal areas is a growing challenge. The most
common solutions such as seawalls and breakwaters are expensive and often lead to …

Climate change and anthropogenic activities are increasingly threatening estuarine and
coastal zones. These effects lead to complex positive and negative feedback among …

Monitoring the complex seafloor morphology that drives the functioning of shallow coastal
ecosystems is vital for assessing marine activities. Satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) can …

Coastal river deltas are susceptible to flooding from pluvial, fluvial, and coastal flood drivers.
Compound floods, which result from the co-occurrence of two or more of these drivers …

Most existing analytical and numerical models to quantify wave energy attenuation attributed
to saltmarshes are based on the definition of a drag coefficient that varies with vegetation …

The protection, restoration, management, and sustainable use of natural and modified
ecosystems to address climate change mitigation have received much global attention in …
