Project Abstract

Abstract
Climate change poses a significant threat to coastal regions worldwide, leading to increased erosion and vulnerability to various environmental hazards. This research project aims to assess the impact of climate change on coastal erosion and vulnerability in a specific region. The study focuses on understanding the complex interactions between climate change factors, such as sea-level rise, extreme weather events, and human activities, and their implications for coastal erosion processes and vulnerability. By employing a multidisciplinary approach that integrates geographical analysis, environmental science, and climate modeling, this research seeks to provide valuable insights into the dynamics of coastal change in the selected region.
