Existing coastal management and defense approaches

are not well suited to meet the challenges of climate change and related uncertanities. Professionals in this field need a more dynamic, systematic and multidisciplinary approach.

About the book

Coastal Risk Management in a Changing Climate provides innovative, multidisciplinary best practices for mitigating the effects of climate change on coastal structures. Written by an international group of experts, the book is based on the Theseus program and includes eight study sites across Europe, with specific attention to the most vulnerable coastal environments such as deltas, estuaries, and wetlands, where many large cities and industrial areas are located.
