|a Human‐induced climate change is predicted to accelerate
sea level rise and alter storm frequency along the US east
coast. Rising sea level will enhance shoreline erosion, and
recent work indicates changing storm patterns and associated
changes in wave conditions can intensify coastal erosion
along parts of a coastline. Investigations of coastal
response to climate change typically consider natural processes
in isolation — neglecting repeated changes to the
coastline from human actions, primarily through shoreline
nourishment projects, which add sand to the shoreline to
counteract erosion. In a model coupling economically driven
shoreline nourishment with wave‐ and sea level rise‐driven
coastline change, and accounting for dwindling sediment
resources for nourishment, coastline response depends dramatically
on the relationship between patterns of property
value and erosion. Simulations show that when nourishment
costs rise with depletion of sand resources, coastline
change is tied to the interaction between patterns of erosion
and property value. Simulations show that when high
property values align with highly erosive locations, sand
resources are depleted rapidly and nourishment in lower
property value towns is quickly abandoned. Although our
model simulates a particular coastal morphology, the result
that future behavior of the coastline and the economic viability
of nourishment in a given town depend on the
regional interaction between patterns of property value
and erosion is likely applicable to many coastal configurations.
More broadly, coupling economic and physical models
reveals equity and sustainability implications of coastal climate
adaptation as well as patterns of coastline change that
a physical model alone would overlook. |
