Impact Assessment of Climate Change on a Sandy Beach—Case Study of the Kaike Coast of Japan
Publication: Coastal Structures and Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2015: Resilient Coastal Communities
ABSTRACT
According to recent issued IPCC 5th Assessment Report (AR5), sea level will rise and wave characteristics will change in future climate with very likely. Shoreline and morphological change has been concerned under the effect of those climate change. In this study, a numerical model of beach profile change which can take into account of the effects of changes of sea level and wave conditions as forcing factors was applied in order to investigate the shoreline and contour line change of sea bottom at Kaike Coast in Japan from present to future climate.
