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...
متن کاملSea state monitoring using coastal GNSS - R
We report on a coastal experiment to study GPS L1 reflections. The campaign was carried out at the Barcelona Port breaker and dedicated to the development of sea-state retrieval algorithms. An experimental system built for this purpose collected and processed GPS data to automatically generate a times series of the interferometric complex field (ICF). The ICF was analyzed off line and compared ...
متن کاملMonitoring Sea Level in the Coastal Zone with Satellite Altimetry and Tide Gauges
We examine the issue of sustained measurements of sea level in the coastal zone, first by summarizing the long-term observations from tide gauges, then showing how those are now complemented by improved satellite altimetry products in the coastal ocean. We present some of the progresses in coastal altimetry, both from dedicated reprocessing of the radar waveforms and from the development of imp...
متن کاملIOC-UNEP-WMO-SAREC Planning Workshop on An Integrated Approach to Coastal Erosion, Sea Level Changes and Their Impacts
The overall objective of this paper is to identify coastal zone management problems within Mombasa Diani area. Other objectives included evaluating the effectiveness of the existing control measures and identifying response strategies for the affected areas. The results showed that coastal dunes and beach ridges, cliffed coasts and backshore areas could be developed but with proper set back lin...
