A comprehensive introduction to coastal storms and their associated
impacts Coastal Storms offers students and professionals in the
field a comprehensive overview and groundbreaking text that is
specifically devoted to the analysis of coastal storms. Based on
the most recent knowledge and contributions from leading
researchers, the text examines coastal storms processes and
characteristics, the main hazards (such as overwash, inundation and
flooding, erosion, structures overtopping), and how to monitor and
model storms. The authors include information on the most advanced
innovations in forecasting, prediction, and early warning, which
serves as a foundation for accurate risk evaluation and developing
adequate coastal indicators and management options. In addition,
structural overtopping and damage are explained, taking into
account the involved hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. The
monitoring methods of coastal storms are analyzed based on recent
results from research projects in Europe and the United States.
Methods for vulnerability and risk evaluation are detailed, storm
impact indicators are suggested for different hazards and coastal
management procedures analyzed. This important resource includes: *
Comprehensive coverage of storms and associated impacts, including
meteorological coastal storm definitions and related potential
consequences * A state-of-the-art reference for advanced students,
professionals and researchers in the field * Chapters on monitoring
methods of coastal storms, their prediction, early warning systems,
and modeling of consequences * Explorations of methods for
vulnerability and risk evaluation and suggestions for storm impact
indicators for different hazards and coastal management procedures
Coastal Storms is a compilation of scientific and policy-related
knowledge related to climate-related extreme events. The authors
are internationally recognized experts and their work reflects the
