Exploring the Impact of Climate Change on Coastal Erosion: A Case Study of a Vulnerable Coastal Region

Project Abstract

Coastal erosion is a pressing environmental issue exacerbated by climate change, posing significant threats to vulnerable coastal regions worldwide. This research project aims to investigate the impact of climate change on coastal erosion through a case study of a specific vulnerable coastal region. The study will delve into the interplay between climatic factors, human activities, and coastal erosion processes to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics at play. By conducting a detailed analysis of the case study area, this research seeks to identify key drivers of coastal erosion and assess the associated risks and vulnerabilities.
