Our coasts provide a home and livelihoods for millions of people;
many of the world's biggest cities are along coastlines. Yet these
precious areas face increasing threats from irresponsible
development and the potential dangers of climate change. This
volume explores the wide spectrum of coastal hazards, from
high-magnitude, low-frequency events like tsunamis and hurricanes,
to longer-term processes like urban regeneration and changing
agricultural practices. International case studies range from
mitigation measures in the Azores Archipelago to managing a coastal
resort in South Wales, to tsunami early warning systems in the
Indian Ocean Region. The resulting collection spans approaches from
social science, engineering, planning, geology and biology and
presents an integrated approach for assessing the impact of, and
response to, coastal hazards. It will be of interest to all those
involved in strategies for the environmental management of
coastlines.
