Historical Trend Analysis and Forecasting of Shoreline Change at the Nile Delta Using RS Data and GIS with the DSAS Tool

Hany F. Abd-Elhamid et al.

Summary: The study aims to analyze the historical trend and predict the shoreline changes of the Nile Delta coasts. DSAS software and GIS environment were used to monitor the changes and forecast future changes. The results indicate that coastal erosion will continue to occur, particularly in the Rosetta and Damietta sections.

Shoreline change detection using DSAS technique: Case of Saint Martin Island, Bangladesh

Md. Farhad Hossen et al.

Summary: This research evaluates the spatial and temporal shoreline changes on Saint Martin Island from 1974 to 2021 and predicts the changes between 2032 and 2042. The study reveals significant shoreline alterations, with most areas experiencing erosion and only a few areas remaining stable or accreting. The research also provides a predictive model for shoreline changes and their implications.

Present-day infralittoral prograding wedges (IPWs) in Central-Eastern Tyrrhenian Sea: Critical issues and challenges to their use as geomorphological indicators of sea level

F. Budillon et al.

Summary: A census was conducted in the Central-Eastern Tyrrhenian Sea to analyze the morpho-bathymetric variability of 83 Infralittoral Prograding Wedges (IPWs). The study aimed to determine the reliability of IPWs as indicators of current and past sea levels by analyzing various environmental and morphometric variables. The results showed a significant correlation between IPWs depth and factors such as storm waves and backshore relief. Additionally, the study proposed a simplified equation to estimate the original depth of paleo-IPWs.

Projections of coastal flooding under different RCP scenarios over the 21st century: A case study of China's coastal zone

He Xu et al.

Summary: This study simulated the inundation caused by sea level rise in China's coastal zone using a physical ocean model and improved methodology. The results showed that the inundation area would gradually expand and the maximum inundation area would increase over time under different scenarios. The findings are important for coastal urban planning and disaster prevention in China, and the method can also be applied to other coastal countries facing the threat of sea level rise.

Coastal transgression and regression from 1980 to 2020 and shoreline forecasting for 2030 and 2040, using DSAS along the southern coastal tip of Peninsular India

S. Chrisben Sam et al.

Summary: This study uses Landsat images and DSAS to analyze the shoreline changes of Kanyakumari coast from 1980 to 2020 and make future predictions. The study reveals that the maximum erosion rate is 5.01 m/yr (EPR) and 6.13 m/yr (LRR), while the maximum accretion rate is 3.77 m/yr (EPR) and 3.11 m/yr (LRR) along the entire 77 km coastal stretch. The predicted future shoreline indicates that Inayam, Periyakattuthurai, and Kodimunai are highly prone to erosion, with a significant shift towards the land by 2030 and 2040. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding the evolution of the coastline and suggests the need for sustainable management plans.

Coastal Sensitivity/Vulnerability Characterization and Adaptation Strategies: A Review

Giorgio Anfuso et al.

Summary: Coastal areas are vulnerable environments that require special attention to preserve ecosystems and human activities. The Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) is a commonly used approach that considers various factors affecting coastal vulnerability and susceptibility, leading to the implementation of specific strategies to enhance coastal resilience. Solutions range from hard infrastructure (e.g., groins, breakwaters) to soft interventions (e.g., beach nourishment) to better prepare coastal areas for potential risks.

Recurrent transitions to Little Ice Age-like climatic regimes over the Holocene

Samuli Helama et al.

Summary: The study identifies LIA-like climate events dating back to around 540 CE, characterized by cold temperatures and clear sky conditions, originating from the North Atlantic-Arctic system and influenced by volcanic activity. The ongoing decline in Arctic sea-ice extent is also evident in the data, reflecting a reversal of LIA-like conditions since the late nineteenth century.

Sea-level rise impact and future scenarios of inundation risk along the coastal plains in Campania (Italy)

Gianluigi Di Paola et al.

Summary: This study evaluates future scenarios of inundation risk along the main alluvial coastal plains of the Campania region (Italy), taking into account global projections and local subsidence trends. Factors such as the distribution of natural and anthropic assets, as well as local social vulnerability, are considered to calculate the overall risk and raise awareness among policymakers and local administrators about the potential impacts of climate change in coastal areas.

Coastal Adaptation to Climate Change and Sea-Level Rise

Gary Griggs et al.

Summary: The Earth's changing climate is causing ice sheets and glaciers to melt, leading to rising coastal hazards and sea levels. Coastal areas with a total population of over 300 million people, including 20 megacities, are among the most vulnerable to climate change impacts. Sea-level rise, combined with other factors, could lead to the displacement of hundreds of millions of people, with significant global impacts.
