COASTAL ENGINEERING AND EROSION ALONG THE GLAMORGAN HERITAGE COAST, UKThe Glamorgan Heritage Coast is one of 45 non-statutory coasts in England and Wales, built around an ethos of natural beauty, management through local participation and an emphasis on passive leisure pastimes. Erosion rates of ...
Boskalis has embarked on a Building with Nature project to halt coastal erosion in Central Java, through a unique integration of mangrove restoration, small-scale engineering and sustainable land use. Large-scale beach nourishment Ameland On the Dutch Wadden Island of Ameland, we completed an exten...
To address the current research gap, we assessed Mediterranean UNESCO cultural WHS at risk from coastal flooding and erosion under four SLR scenarios from 2000 to 2100. We used an index-based approach that allows for ranking and comparing WHS at risk. For this purpose, we produced a WHS datas...
In any case, a survey of the recent literature clearly reveals how the exact processes and feedbacks regarding Yedoma permafrost erosion during the last deglaciation are still a matter of debate, mainly because of the lack of past observational evidence and continuous records29. In this study, we...
NFU Environment Forum chair, Richard Bramley, presented to the Westminster Energy, Environment and Transport Forum. Read about his thoughts on the next steps for flood and coastal erosion risk management.
about England’s first settlers, its maritime industries, the defence of the realm against waves of would-be invaders. There is also information to be collected about sea-level change, about the speed of coastal erosion, about the changing landscape and land use along the ever-changing coast....
Denmark has the richest concentration of underwater Stone Age finds in the world, thanks to a combination of factors that include favourable conditions of preservation and a long tradition of professional and amateur interest in underwater prehistory. The majority of finds are from the central areas...
in the wave storm event that impacted the tropical western Pacific islands7,22. Additionally, wave storms are considered a major coastal erosion driver23,24. It is worth mentioning that wave heights are not the only factor determining the impact of waves on the coast during wave storms. The ...
were exposed. It then rose, reaching present sea level around 6,000 years ago, after which it was relatively stable. Now, with climate change, it is beginning to rise again, and may rise as much as 1 m over the next 100 years, triggering shoreline retreat, inundation, and erosion. ...
When vertical erosion at the breach inflow is prevented or slowed down by a solid dike foundation (for instance a solid clay layer), by a solid berm structure on the dike outer slope, by solid toe protection on the dike outer slope, or by a solid and relatively high foreland (i.e. a...
