SEA from space: Coastal management via satellites: Strategic planning in response to global sea level rises

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Rising global sea levels are already having an extremely damaging effect on local communities, human infrastructure, and the economy. The negative social and economic repercussions of this is only expected to worsen, meaning that effective coastal management strategies are critical. This project proposes the development of a new tool which acts as a strategic decision-support system for coastal management. The tool will make use of satellite data to characterise shoreline pressures and impacts in terms of future flood potential and coastal erosion, with a view of generating a solution for the most applicable and cost-effective coastal management strategy for different shorelines. These results can then be used to inform Shoreline Management Plans.
