This study reviews the degree to which land-use planning addresses climate change adaptation in Chilean Low Elevated Coastal Zones (LECZ). We first select 12 of the country’s most exposed coastal municipalities using a ...

This paper presents a GIS-based multicriteria flood risk assessment and mapping approach applied to coastal drainage basins where hydrological data are not available. It involves risk to different types of possible processes: ...

Urban development in coastal areas has become increasingly important due to the climatecrisis and its effects on sea level rise and extreme events, which increased the vulnerability of coastalzones. Therefore, it is important ...

Human settlements in coastal areas are highly vulnerable to extreme events, especially in the Mediterranean area, which houses a large number of tourists during the summer and autumn months. It is important to carry out ...

Coastal zones worldwide have been subjected to increasingly high anthropic pressures over the last 50 years. The rapid urban growth rate together with the acceleration of Climate Change are boosting negative impacts on a ...

A worldwide increase in flooding due to climate change and population growth in exposed areas is expected, especially in coastal areas; therefore, nature-based solutions (NBS) for risk reduction are necessary to increase ...

Floods constitute one of the most damaging natural hazards in the world. Seasonal and extraordinary rainfall recurrently trigger different types of floods in Costa Rica. An integrated and efficient flood risk management requires ...

Se presenta la cronología y nueva clasificación de las inundaciones costeras para el archipiélago cubano atendiendo a los sistemas meteorológicos que las generaron, las particularidades de los mismos y las características ...
