Impacts of Sea-Level Rise on European Coastal Lowlands (INSTITUTE OF BRITISH GEOGRAPHERS SPECIAL PUBLICATIONS) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The impacts of sea-level rise on the coastal lowlands of the world is one of the most important topics within contemporary geographical research.
With over half of the world's population living either on or near coastal lowlands, according to the latest UN estimates, the effects of sea-level rise will have a profound impact on human populations: reclaimed lowlands will be at risk; coastal erosion will accelerate; storm surges will increase the risk of flood disasters; salt water intrusion will affect groundwater quality, river discharges and farmland; coastal ecosystems will be disrupted; port facilities and recreational beaches will be lost; sedimentation in rivers will move up-stream; and toxic wastes in landfill sites, and at present locked into intertidal sediments, will be remobilized.
How serious is this threat to the coastal lowlands, one of the most fragile of environments, at this time of global climatic change? What precise effects will increases in carbon dioxide and other 'greenhouse gases' have upon the world's most heavily populated areas?
In this landmark work a group of distinguished researchers examine the impacts of a future sea-level rise upon the European coastline, with examples from the coastal lowlands around the North Sea, the Channel and the Mediterranean. Their findings and predictions are of the utmost significance for the future of Europe's coastal lowlands and their continued development.
