Selecting coastal hotspots to storm impacts at the regional scale: a Coastal Ri...
Viavattene, C.; Jiménez, J. A.; Ferreira, Óscar; Priest, S.; Owen, D.; McCall, R.Managing coastal risk at the regional scale requires a prioritization of resources along the shoreline. A transparent and rigorous risk assessment should inform managers and stakeholders in their choices. This requires advances in modelling assessment (e.g., consideration of source and pathway conditions to define the probability of occurrence, nonlinear dynamics of the physical processes, better recognition of...
Storm-induced risk assessment: evaluation of two tools at the regional and hots...
Ferreira, Óscar; Viavattene, C.; Jiménez, J. A.; Bolle, A.; das Neves, L.; Plomaritis, Theocharis A.; McCall, R.; van Dongeren, A. R.Coastal zones are under increasing risk as coastal hazards increase due to climate change and the consequences of these also increase due to on-going economic development. To effectively deal with this increased risk requires the development of validated tools to identify coastal areas of higher risk and to evaluate the effectiveness of disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures. This paper analyses the performance...
Shifting perspectives on coastal impacts and adaptation
Brown, Sally; Nicholls, Robert J.; Hanson, Susan; Brundrit, Geoff; Dearing, John A.; Dickson, Mark E.; Gallop, Shari L.; Gao, Shu; Haigh, Ivan D.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports reflect evolving attitudes in adapting to sea-level rise by taking a systems approach and recognizing that multiple responses exist to achieve a less hazardous coast.
