European Early Warning Systems for coastal floods
The present contribution aims to assess the need for a pan-European Early Warning System (EWS) for coastal floods, and more specifically, to: a) gauge user needs, using a structured questionnaire survey; b) collate the technical specifications of available European EWSs for coastal floods; c) assess the coherence between stated user needs, the specifications of the European EWSs and the existing policy imperatives and legal requirements. The ques…
Are beaches accessible to all? Economic valuation and mapping of recreational ecosystem services for wheelchair users in Greece
Individuals with mobility impairments frequently face significant barriers to participating in coastal recreational activities, primarily due to inadequate infrastructure and poor maintenance. This study evaluates the needs and behaviors of wheelchair users to estimate the economic value of beach recreation for this group in Greece. By combining economic valuation methods with accessibility analysis, we estimate that beach recreation for wheelcha…
A system for the management of sandy shorelines under climate change
A methodological framework is presented for the assessment of beach vulnerability to climate variability and change on small touristic islands. Based on the development of a coastal vulnerability index (CVI) fueled by open-source Earth Observations and social media information, it includes both physical and socio-economic characteristics of the shoreline. In a pilot study in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVIs), most beaches were found to be vulnerabl…

Changes in Climate Extremes and their Impacts on the Natural Physical Environment
Chapter 3 of Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation. A Special Report of Working Groups I and II of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This chapter addresses changes in weather and climate events relevant to extreme impacts and disasters.
