DECADE ACTION INCUBATOR 15
Coastal inundation and erosion can result in property damage, economic loss and ecosystem degradation. The impacts are generally greatest where the coast has been developed for infrastructure or human settlements.
Coastal inundation and beach dune erosion are induced by the oscillatory motion of the long waves, as well as short wind waves above the mean water-level elevated by tide, storm surge, wave setup and long-term sea-level fluctuation. There are a lot of limitations with the current conventional monitoring and simulation methods in detecting the rapidly varying nearshore bathymetry, simulating the oscillatory motion at the swash-zone, and predicting the impact of climate change.
This incubator will bring scientists, engineers working on coastal planning and development, review conventional approaches to the monitoring and prediction of the coastal inundation and erosion, discuss new approaches to address their limitations, and explore the possibility of a UN Decade Action.
