Thesis Abstract

**Abstract
** Climate change is a pressing global issue that poses significant challenges to coastal areas, particularly in terms of increased erosion rates. This study focuses on assessing the impact of climate change on coastal erosion patterns in a specific region, aiming to provide valuable insights for effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. The research methodology involved a comprehensive literature review, field surveys, and data analysis to investigate the correlation between climate change indicators and coastal erosion rates. Chapter One introduces the research topic, providing background information on climate change, coastal erosion, and the specific region of study. The problem statement highlights the urgency of addressing the impact of climate change on coastal areas, while the objectives outline the aims of the study. The limitations and scope of the study are identified to clarify the boundaries and constraints of the research. The significance of the study emphasizes the importance of understanding coastal erosion patterns in the context of climate change, while the structure of the thesis outlines the organization of the subsequent chapters. Chapter Two presents a detailed literature review covering ten key aspects related to climate change, coastal erosion, and their interconnected impacts. The review synthesizes existing knowledge and identifies gaps in current research, providing a foundation for the empirical investigation conducted in this study. Chapter Three describes the research methodology employed in this study, including data collection methods, sampling techniques, and analytical tools used to assess the impact of climate change on coastal erosion patterns. The chapter outlines the step-by-step process followed in conducting field surveys and analyzing data to achieve the research objectives. Chapter Four presents a comprehensive discussion of the findings obtained from the empirical investigation. The analysis of data reveals significant correlations between climate change indicators and coastal erosion rates in the specific region under study. The chapter also discusses the implications of these findings for coastal management strategies and policy development. Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, highlighting the implications for future research and policy interventions. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to address the impact of climate change on coastal erosion patterns and underscores the need for sustainable adaptation strategies in coastal areas. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the impact of climate change on coastal erosion patterns, providing valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and coastal communities. The findings of this study underscore the urgency of addressing climate change impacts on coastal areas and advocate for proactive measures to mitigate the adverse effects of coastal erosion in the face of ongoing environmental changes.
