QUANTIFYING AND CLASSIFYING COASTAL CHANGE IN SCOTLAND USING SATELLITE-DERIVED COASTAL BOUNDARIES

Global sea levels and the frequency severity of coastal storm events are both predicted to rise with anthropogenic climate change. Coastal storms often accompanied by intense wave energy producing large waves which lead impact damage, overtopping flooding infrastructure Erosion soft coasts can cause instability exacerbate flood risk weakening natural protective features like dunes. To plan effectively for a changing increased risks, managers require continuous, repeatable datasets on past change anticipate potential future changes assess adaptation options.
