in the present paper various transects perpendicular to iranian makran coasts (chabahar-gawater) were studied using satellite image processing, field observations, sandy shore profiling and grain size analysis to evaluate sedimentology and geomorphology of the area. data revealed that the study area includes exposed rocky shores (52%), sandy shores (40%), and mud flats (8%) sheltered in estuari...

[1] Sediment flux from rivers to oceans is the fundamental driver of fluvio-deltaic morphodynamics and continental margin sedimentation, yet sediment transport across the river-to-marine boundary is poorly understood. Coastal rivers typically are affected by backwater, a zone of spatially decelerating flow that is transitional between normal flow upstream and the offshore river plume. Flow dece...

Living shorelines are a type of estuarine shoreline erosion control that incorporates native vegetation and preserves native habitats. Because they provide the ecosystem services associated with natural coastal wetlands while also increasing shoreline resilience, living shorelines are part of the natural and hybrid infrastructure approach to coastal resiliency. Marshes created as living shoreli...

Coastal hazard due to wave activity, in the form of coastal erosion, has long been a problem area Ujunggebang. Loss land removed lot rice fields, settlements, and public facilities. Efforts maintain coastline along 3,300 m area, by building defense structures (CDS), have carried out central government since 2006 but, until 2015, CDS that built is still only around 1782 long, some places structu...

An evaluation of the risk to an exposed element from a hazardous event requires a consideration of the element’s vulnerability, which expresses its propensity to suffer damage. This concept allows the assessed level of hazard to be translated to an estimated level of risk and is often used to evaluate the risk from earthquakes and cyclones. However, for other natural perils, such as mass moveme...

The natural environment is unequivocally the life support for all human systems. Far for being a luxury available only to those who can afford it, successful environmental management will increasingly become the basis for the success or failure of the economics and social systems of entire countries. In the last two decades, concern has been expressed about possible effects of climate change in...

Abstract The shoreline of Kalutara, Sri Lanka has become more prone to erosion because environmental changes caused by natural and anthropogenic factors including climate change. study aimed assess map the physical social vulnerability coastal in between Kalu Bolgoda River mouths Southwest Lanka. This relied on secondary data sources such as topographic, digitized, satellite maps obtained from ...
