What is
Methodological framework for the assessment and monitoring of the risk of erosion of tourist island beaches under Climate Change
OVERVIEW
The objectives of the proposed research project MARICC are to develop state-of-the-art approaches and frameworks for (a) the assessment of beach erosion at a regional (island) scale under Climate Variability & Change (CV&C); (b) the prioritization of the adaptation response for individual island beaches on the basis of procedures involving objective physical and socio-economic indicators and; and (c) the long-term, high frequency monitoring of the beach response to coastal hydrodynamics. These will be tested in two Greek islands.
