Implementation of long-shore sediment transport and climate change driven variations in the wave climate, in the Probabilistic Coastal Recession (PCR) framework [Pilot application: Dutch Bay, Sri Lanka]

Under the actual and future context of the relation between Climate Change (CC) and coastal communities, the latest International Panel of Climate Change reports (IPCC, 2007, 2013) reveals that during the 21st century the Sea Level Rise (SLR) could reach to extraordinary levels, and subsequently this fact could derive in unprecedented coastal recession, which impacts in local and regional scale are imminent and should not be underestimated. The coastal communities concerns for the development of each time more accurate and reliable predictive methods of coastal recession has been increased sig... Mehr ...
