Impacts of sea-level rise-induced erosion on the Catalan coast

摘要: The Catalan coast as most of the developed Mediterranean coastal zone is characterized by coincidence stresses and pressures on natural system with a high exposure low adaptive capacity. Due to this, climate change-induced effects will increase hazards aggravate their associated impacts and, in consequence, it necessary assess for proper long-term management. In this work, we impact sea-level rise (SLR)-induced shoreline retreat three scenarios ranging from 0.53 1.75 m year 2100. Implications are analysed terms affectation two main functions provided beaches, i.e. recreation protection. Obtained results show that CC be serious threat since expected enhanced severely decrease recreational carrying capacity protection near future under tested scenarios. actual level development along reduces resilient beaches SLR such way lack accommodation space can identified factor estimated impacts.
