Estimating coastal recession due to sea level rise: beyond the Bruun rule

Estimating coastal recession due to sea level rise: beyond the Bruun rule

Accelerated sea level rise (SLR) in the twenty-first century will result in unprecedented coastal recession, threatening billions of dollars worth of coastal developments and infrastructure. Therefore, we cannot continue to depend on the highly uncertain coastal recession estimates obtained via the simple, deterministic method (Bruun rule) that has been widely used over the last 50 years. Furth...

Framework for Analysing Coastal Vulnerability Due to Sea Level Rise and Coastal Floods using R

Sea level rise is a natural global phenomenon which is aggravated by anthropological activities. Severity of the rise varying in different parts of the world but the stress in general is increasingly threatening human development. Sustenance of a few species and their ecosystem depends on the rate and extent of rise. Coastal floods are inundations in coastal areas due to rise in sea water level...

Coastal Geomorphic Responses to Sea Level Rise: Galveston Bay, Texas

Modelling 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...

Chapter 7: POTENTIAL COASTAL EROSION OF THE SWAN COASTAL PLAIN DUE TO LONG- TERM SEA LEVEL RISE

It is highly likely that coastal erosion due to long-term sea level rise associated with global warming will have a significant impact on Australia’s coastal systems, and any associated infrastructure, over the next century. Long-term coastal erosion is thought to occur largely through sudden-onset storm events. Therefore, attempting to quantify this natural hazard is critical to future develop...
