Analysis of the Impact of Climate Change on Coastal Erosion Patterns

Project Abstract

Coastal erosion is a critical issue exacerbated by climate change, leading to significant environmental, economic, and social impacts globally. This research project aims to analyze the impact of climate change on coastal erosion patterns, focusing on understanding the drivers, processes, and consequences of coastal erosion in the context of changing climatic conditions. The study will adopt a multidisciplinary approach, integrating geological, geographical, environmental, and climatological perspectives to provide a comprehensive analysis of the complex interactions between climate change and coastal erosion.
