Project Abstract

Abstract
Coastal erosion is a critical environmental issue that is exacerbated by climate change, posing significant threats to coastal communities and ecosystems worldwide. This research project investigates the impact of climate change on coastal erosion rates in a specific coastal region, aiming to contribute to a better understanding of the complex interactions between climate change and coastal dynamics. The study focuses on analyzing the historical trends of coastal erosion rates in the selected region and examining the potential drivers of change, with a particular emphasis on climate-related factors. The research methodology involves a combination of field surveys, remote sensing analysis, and numerical modeling techniques to assess the relationship between climate change and coastal erosion. Through a detailed analysis of coastal topography, land cover changes, and climatic data, the study aims to identify correlations and patterns that can help elucidate the mechanisms driving coastal erosion in the study area. Additionally, the research explores the vulnerability of coastal communities and infrastructure to changing erosion rates, emphasizing the need for adaptive management strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights into the dynamics of coastal erosion in the face of climate change, offering a basis for informed decision-making and policy development at the local and regional levels. By highlighting the specific challenges and opportunities posed by climate-induced coastal erosion, the research aims to contribute to the broader discourse on climate adaptation and resilience in coastal areas. Ultimately, the project seeks to promote sustainable coastal management practices that integrate climate change considerations and prioritize the protection of coastal ecosystems and communities.
