Geldenhuys, M.A. (author)Research done by the IPCC working groups and other organizations has sparked global concern over the possible impacts of climate change and corresponding sea level rise upon coastal communities. In reaction global studies were done (Nicholls et al., 2008, Hanson et al., 2011) to assess the vulnerability of coastal regions. However, most of these...master thesis 2011

Jongejan, R.B. (author), Ranasinghe, R.W.M.R.J.B. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)Economic and population growth have led to an unprecedented increase in the value at risk in coastal zones over the last century. To avoid excessive future losses, particularly in the light of projected climate change impacts, coastal zone managers have various instruments at their disposal. These primarily concern land-use planning ...conference paper 2011

Drieman, R. (author)The coast of Bulgaria is subject to erosion. Because of this fact, around the town of Balchik, which is situated on the Black Sea coast, almost no sandy beaches are present. Last years there have been vast tourist developments in and around Balchik. Because of these developments, the province demands solutions to adapt coastal protection...master thesis 2011

Eslami Arab, S. (author)Groins are old and intuitive means of reducing erosion and are found along the coast worldwide, although according to CEM (Coastal Engineering Manual 2003), “they are probably the most misused and improperly designed of all coastal structures”. The original purpose of groins was to reduce local erosion, that is, to hold the width of beach in...master thesis 2009

Verhagen, H.J. (author), Visser, P.J. (author)Along the North Sea coast, water levels are rising and waves are intensifying due to climate change. The best scientific evidence suggests that both phenomena are likely to accelerate over the coming decades. In some North Sea coastal areas also land is sinking and tidal heights and rates of erosion are increasing. This means that the risk of...conference paper 2007

Van den Berg, B. (author), Eelkema, M. (author), Smith, M. (author), Van To, P. (author)Master project report. In the year 2004 there was a flooding in an area between Da'an River and Dajia River in Taichung County, Taiwan. The flooding was caused by outlets which were clogged up, thus lacking the capacity to discharge the amount of rainwater that the typhoon caused into the sea. A survey conducted by the project group, showed that...student report 2006

Crossman, M. (author), Segura-Dominguez, S. (author), Allsop, W. (author)Coastal rock structures are widely used in coastal engineering for a variety of purposes, including controlling the morphological development of beaches and providing protection against coastal erosion or flooding by wave overtopping. Strict adherence to existing design guidance has resulted in many of these structures being built using multiple...report 2003
