|a Most of the world’s shorelines are in
a state of erosion. The only major
exceptions are areas of high sediment
supply, such as along the rims of active
delta lobes and regions of glacial outwash.
Many developed nations have experienced
a four-decade rush to the shore,
with concomitant beachfront development
and exponentially increasing total values
for beachfront real estate, infrastructure,
and buildings. That this unprecedented accelerating
coastal development has unfortunately
coincided with a century of accelerating
global sea level rise (SLR) means
that the prediction of the future rate of
shoreline retreat has become a major societal
priority. |
