Financing and implementation of adaptation measures to climate change along the Spanish coast
(Elsevier, 2020-04)
Article
Open AccessUnderstanding how we are adapting to climate change in coastal areas is an essential issue in the long-term coastal planning. While most of existing studies focus on mapping the current state of adaptation plans, there is ... -
Impact of relative sea-level rise on low-lying coastal areas of Catalonia, NW Mediterranean, Spain
(2020-11)
Article
Open AccessLow-lying coastal areas are high-risk areas regarding sea-level rise (SLR) due to the combination of low elevation, subsidence and currently low sediment supply, on the one hand, and their high natural and socio-economic ... -
Impact of sea-level rise on the tourist-carrying capacity of Catalan beaches
(2019-03)
Article
Open AccessTourism provides about 11% of Catalonia's GDP, with most accommodations placed being associated with the “sun-and-sand” model. Since beaches are the main resource to be exploited, it is important to assess how their future ... -
The influence of climate change on the coastal risk landscape of the Catalan coast
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-12-18)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessCoastal areas concentrate very high socio-economic and natural values, which will be highly threatened by climate change, particularly by sea-level rise (SLR). Given the intrinsic characteristics of this zone, appropriate ... -
Relative sea-level rise induced changes in habitat distribution in the Ebro Delta: implications for adaptation strategies
(Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this study, the impact of relative sea-level rise (RSLR) and the potential damage to habitats in the Ebro Delta have been analysed. We present a methodology for improved flood-damage assessments caused by RSLR in natural ... -
The economic impact of sea level rise-induced decrease in the carrying capacity of Catalan beaches (NW Mediterranean, Spain)
(2022-03)
Article
Open AccessSea-level rise (SLR)-induced erosion will contribute significantly to the reduction of the surface of beaches worldwide. In the absence of adaptation measures, this implies a decrease in the recreational carrying capacity ...
