Abstract

For most of us, the impression of the word ""tsunami"" is a combination of multiple elements of action movie, thriller, drama and science fiction, which can only be experienced through movies such as ""The Poseidon Adventure"", ""The Impossible"", ""Bait 3D"", and ""Haewundae, 2012"". However, we have now indeed witnessed a tsunami in 2011. People are now very concerned and some are afraid of the realization of movie scenes in our real life. More research fields have started to give attention and thought to the tsunami itself and its impact on economics, disaster management and future challeng

Abstract

The coastal environment is a dynamic system in which natural and human processes combine and interact, modifying geomorphological, physical and biological features, and in which beaches represent the most vulnerable areas. Coastal erosion is caused by many different processes like changes in prevailing wind direction, coastal currents, re-establishment of a new equilibrium profile, sea level rise, sea level fall, exceptional storms, hurricanes/cyclones, and tsunami events. This book discusses the processes, adaptation strategies and environmental impacts of coastal and beach erosion.

Abstract

70 % des côtes de la planète sont soumises à l'érosion. En France, les mesures récoltées depuis plus de deux siècles montrent que la vitesse du recul est de un à deux mètres par an en moyenne. Tous les spécialistes s'accordent pour dire que ce phénomène n'est pas près de s'inverser : les côtes vont continuer à reculer, c'est maintenant une certitude ; les données les plus récentes soulignent même une accélération de l'érosion. Peut-on réellement résister à un phénomène d'une telle ampleur ? Peut-on, doit-on défendre tel ou tel front de mer menacé ? Si oui, comment le défendre ? Qui financera la protection ? Peut-on, à l'inverse, accepter la disparition d'ici à la fin du siècle, de bandes de terrain de 100 ou 200 mètres de profondeur, avec les bâtiments qu'elles supportent ? C'est à ces questions très concrètes que doivent répondre les responsables publics. À travers l'exemple du littoral dunaire aquitain, espace modelé par l'homme au siècle dernier et perçu aujourd'hui comme l'une des côtes les plus sauvages de l'hexagone, l'auteur montre les pistes qui se dessinent pour gérer le recul inéluctable du rivage.

Abstract

This report highlights RAND's contributions to the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority's Master Plan. Its purpose is to help policymakers in other coastal regions understand the value of a solid technical foundation to support decisionmaking on strategies to reduce flood risk, rebuild or restore coastal environments, and increase the resilience of developed coastal regions.
