Project Abstract

Abstract
Climate change is a pressing global issue that is significantly impacting coastal regions worldwide, leading to increased rates of coastal erosion. This research project aims to investigate the specific impacts of climate change on coastal erosion in a selected region, focusing on understanding the underlying processes and identifying potential mitigation strategies. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining field observations, remote sensing techniques, and geographic information system (GIS) analysis to assess coastal erosion patterns and changes over time. The research will begin with a comprehensive review of existing literature on climate change, coastal erosion, and related topics to establish a theoretical framework for the study. This literature review will provide insights into the factors contributing to coastal erosion, such as sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and human activities, and highlight current research gaps in the field. The methodology chapter will outline the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques to be employed in the study. Field surveys will be conducted to collect primary data on coastal erosion rates, sediment dynamics, and shoreline changes, while satellite imagery and GIS tools will be used to analyze spatial and temporal trends in erosion patterns. The findings chapter will present the results of the data analysis, highlighting the specific impacts of climate change on coastal erosion in the study area. The discussion will explore the implications of these findings in the context of broader climate change adaptation and coastal management strategies, considering the social, economic, and environmental consequences of coastal erosion. In conclusion, this research project will contribute to a better understanding of the complex interactions between climate change and coastal erosion, providing valuable insights for policymakers, planners, and stakeholders working to mitigate the impacts of climate change on vulnerable coastal communities. By identifying key drivers of coastal erosion and proposing effective adaptation measures, this study aims to support sustainable coastal development and resilience in the face of ongoing climate change challenges.
