Seven decades of shoreline changes along a muddy mangrove coastline of the Upper Gulf of Thailand

Kimhuy Sok et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the historical coastal change and development along the eastern coastline of the Upper Gulf of Thailand between 1953 and 2019. The analysis shows that the western coast has experienced severe degradation, while the eastern coastline has continuously developed. The construction of major dams did not result in significant shoreline recession, and increased riverine sediment supply played a key role in coastal growth.

On-Site Investigations of Coastal Erosion and Accretion for the Northeast of Taiwan

Ting-Yu Liang et al.

Summary: Coastal erosion is a major natural hazard along the northeastern shoreline (i.e., Yilan County) of Taiwan, with erosion and accretion occurring at different parts due to jetty and groin construction. Topographic and bathymetric surveys conducted in 2006, 2012, 2013, and 2019 reveal that erosion is significant in the northern Jhuan River estuary while accretion is inevitable in the northern Lanyang River estuary. The bathymetric surveys also suggest that the shoreline of Yilan County tends to accrete in summer but erode in winter, with approximately 2 km of coastline impacted by estuarine sediment transport along the Lanyang River estuary.

The potential impact of rising sea levels on China's coastal cultural heritage: a GIS risk assessment

Yuqi Li et al.

Summary: The authors modeled the impact of 1m, 2m, and 5m sea-level rise on China's coastal archaeological sites and argued that the current endangered sites are only a fraction of those at risk, calling for mitigation of rising sea levels.

Numerical Study of Bamboo Breakwater for Wave Reduction

Haryo Dwito Armono et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the effectiveness of bamboo arrays in reducing wave energy. The study shows that structures with a vertical-horizontal formation attenuate more wave energy compared to other formations. The transmission coefficient is influenced by wave steepness, wave height, wave period, and the spacing ratio of the structure. The diameter of the poles has a slight effect on the transmission coefficient, while the spacing between the poles has a more significant impact.

Alarming coastal vulnerability of the deltaic and sandy beaches of North Africa

Abderraouf Hzami et al.

Summary: The arid coasts of North Africa are experiencing severe coastal retreats and floods due to global warming-induced sea level rise, as well as interactions with climatic and anthropogenic factors. The deltaic coasts in Tunisia and Egypt are found to be the most vulnerable, with significant impacts on local water sources, food security, and population migration trends. The high coastal vulnerabilities are attributed more to damming and rapid urban growth in these regions over the past few decades, rather than solely to the effects of global warming.

The analysis of shoreline change dynamics and future predictions using automated spatial techniques: Case of El-Omayed on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt

Mohamed Awad et al.

Summary: The study area in the El-Omayed Biosphere Reserve in Egypt's western Mediterranean coast was analyzed for historical shoreline change rates and future predictions. The findings showed a mix of erosion and accretion along the shoreline, with varying rates of change. The results indicated that urgent and long-term protective measures are needed to prevent partial or complete loss of the shoreline in the future.

Did the Construction of the Bhumibol Dam Cause a Dramatic Reduction in Sediment Supply to the Chao Phraya River?

Matharit Namsai et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the sediment regime of the Ping River in Thailand and found that although the Bhumibol Dam effectively traps some sediment, there was only a 5% reduction in sediment supply to the Chao Phraya River system due to sediment additions downstream.

Bamboo Fences as a Nature-Based Measure for Coastal Wetland Protection in Vietnam

Cong Mai Van et al.

Summary: The study shows that bamboo fences can effectively reduce wave impact and flow velocity along the coasts of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, promoting the growth and recovery of mangroves. Additionally, by proposing empirical formulae, a nature-friendly design solution has been created, providing a basic technical reference for coastal protection and mangrove conservation.

Analysis of long- and short-term shoreline change dynamics: A study case of Joao Pessoa city in Brazil

Celso Augusto Guimaraes Santos et al.

Summary: The study investigated the short- and long-term changes of the shoreline of Joao Pessoa city in Brazil from 1985 to 2019. Long-term changes showed shoreline accretion, while short-term changes exhibited cyclic patterns of erosion and accretion. The study found that the shoreline change patterns were generally similar across different zones.

An analysis of the factors responsible for the shoreline retreat of the Chao Phraya Delta (Thailand)

Butsawan Bidorn et al.

Summary: Deltas are facing threats such as sea level rise and erosion, with many retreating shorelines attributed to decreased sediment supply from upstream dam construction. Despite the presence of two large dams in the Chao Phraya River and Delta, sediment accumulation has actually increased in recent decades, mainly due to expansion of activities in the delta since the 1970s. Shoreline erosion in the Chao Phraya Delta is primarily caused by subsidence induced by groundwater withdrawal and global sea level rise, rather than mangrove removal for development purposes.

Coastal subsidence increases vulnerability to sea level rise over twenty first century in Cartagena, Caribbean Colombia

Juan D. Restrepo-Angel et al.

Summary: Cartagena is experiencing a higher rate of sea level rise compared to the global average, largely due to vertical land movements. Geological factors account for 41% of the observed sea level rise changes, posing a significant threat to the preservation of Cartagena.

Effects of Dam Construction in the Wang River on Sediment Regimes in the Chao Phraya River Basin

Warit Charoenlerkthawin et al.

Summary: The Wang River is a major tributary of the Chao Phraya River in Thailand, providing sediment to the Chao Phraya Delta. Three major dams along the river impact sediment load differently, with downstream sediment reduction countered by sediment supply from the lower basin. The location of dams and sediment load variation along the river are key factors influencing the impact of dam construction.
