Adaptation to the impacts of sea level rise in Egypt
Assessment of the vulnerability of and expected socioeconomic losses over the Nile Delta coast due to the impact of sea level rise (SLR) was carried out in detail. Impacts of SLR on the Governorates of Alexandria and Port Said, in particular, were evaluated quantitatively. Options and costs of adaptation were analyzed and presented. Multi-criteria and decision matrix approaches based on questio...
متن کاملMitigation and Adaptation Responses to Sea Level Rise
Owing to climate change, according to annual Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports, sea level rise is inevitable. The sea level rise in different parts of the coastal areas in the world continents, may be calculated and thus predicted for ten years in the future, a hundred years out and beyond, with decreasing confidence. Amongst experts, the amount of sea level rise at diffe...
متن کاملModelling Coastal Vulnerability and Adaptation to Sea Level Rise
Coastal regions are highly vulnerable to sea-level rise (SLR) therefore developing and implementing effective adaptation alternatives is crucial for their future development. However, there is uncertainty in the timing, duration, spatial location and extent of SLR and storms. The complexity that arises from climate, coastal systems and their interactions in space and time can easily become over...
متن کاملContemporary sea level rise.
Measuring sea level change and understanding its causes has considerably improved in the recent years, essentially because new in situ and remote sensing observations have become available. Here we report on most recent results on contemporary sea level rise. We first present sea level observations from tide gauges over the twentieth century and from satellite altimetry since the early 1990s. W...
متن کاملPotential Effect of Sea Level Rise on Rambai River, Malaysia
Sea level rise could alter the boundary conditions of tidal rivers. This in turn would modify the hydrodynamic behaviour of coastal rivers and consequently their backwater rise. This paper presents the effect of modified boundary conditions on river peak stage and flow resulting from probable levels of sea level rise on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The study site is a tidal affected r...
