Thesis Overview

The research project titled "Analysis of the impact of climate change on coastal erosion in a specific region" aims to investigate the relationship between climate change and coastal erosion in a particular geographic area. Coastal erosion is a significant environmental issue that poses threats to coastal communities, ecosystems, and infrastructure. Climate change, characterized by rising sea levels, increased storm frequency and intensity, and changing weather patterns, has been identified as a major driver of coastal erosion worldwide. The specific region chosen for this study is critical due to its susceptibility to coastal erosion and its importance in terms of ecological and socio-economic factors. By focusing on this specific region, the research aims to provide a detailed analysis of the impact of climate change on coastal erosion dynamics, including the identification of vulnerable areas, assessment of erosion rates, and evaluation of potential adaptation strategies. The research overview will include a comprehensive literature review to examine existing studies on climate change impacts on coastal erosion, methods for assessing erosion rates, and strategies for mitigating erosion effects. The research methodology will involve a combination of field surveys, remote sensing techniques, and modeling approaches to collect data on coastal erosion dynamics and climate variables. The findings of this research project are expected to contribute to the understanding of how climate change influences coastal erosion processes in the selected region. The results will help policymakers, environmental planners, and local communities to develop effective strategies for managing coastal erosion risks and adapting to changing environmental conditions. Ultimately, this research aims to raise awareness about the importance of addressing climate change impacts on coastal areas and promote sustainable coastal management practices.
