This book discusses how to collect data and analyze databases in
order to map risk zones, and contributes to developing a conceptual
framework for coastal risk assessment. Further, the book primarily
focuses on a specific case study: the Bay of Bengal along the
southeastern coast of India. The dramatic rise in losses and
casualties due to natural disasters like wind, storm-surge-induced
flooding, seismic hazards and tsunami incidence along this coast
over the past few decades has prompted a major national scientific
initiative investigating the probable causes and possible
mitigation strategies. As such, geoscientists are called upon to
analyze the coastal hazards by anticipating the changes in and
impacts of extreme weather hazards on the Bay of Bengal coasts as a
result of global climate change and local sea-level change.
