<p>Thin coastal dykes typically found in developing countries may suddenly collapse due to rapid land subsidence, material ageing, sea-level rise, high wave attack, earthquakes, landslides, or a collision with vessels. Such a failure could trigger dam-break ...

This is an overview from the Uniniversity of Hawai concerning the coastlines of the 8 islands of the Hawaian system.

This study attempts to delineate the late Quaternary morphotectonic evolution of the coastal zone of southern Lesvos Island (NE Aegean Sea) on the basis of detailed field mapping of different sea level indicators.

Coastal aquifers are distinguished from other aquifers because of tidal effects which cause complicated groundwater flow and contaminant transport phenomena in regions immediately adjacent to the coast. This study is designed to address the significance of ...

Settlements in coastal lowlands are especially vulnerable to risks resulting from climate change, yet these lowlands are densely settled and growing rapidly. In this paper, it is undertaken the first global review of the population and urban settlement patterns ...

This Circular describes the occurrence and flow of freshwater and saltwater in ground-water systems of the Atlantic coastal zone reviews the causes, modes, and management of saltwater intrusion along the Atlantic coast and illustrates some of the mechanisms ...

This atlas reports on a program of research that assigns a relative ranking scale to seven natural coastal hazards. The ranking is based on the historical trends and natural factors influencing site vulnerability and hazard intensity in the Hawaiian coastal ...
