Importance of Coastal Change Variables in Determining Vulnerability to Sea- and Lake-Level Change

Abstract: PENDLETON, E.A.; THIELER, E.R., and WILLIAMS, S.J., 2010. Importance of coastal change variables in determining vulnerability to sea-and lake-level change. Journal of Coastal Research, 26(1), 176-183. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.In 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey began conducting scientific assessments of coastal vulnerability to potential future sea-and lake-level changes in 22 National Park Service sea-and lakeshore units. Coastal park units chosen for the assessment included a variety of geol… Show more

“…By adopting a consistent methodology, Pendleton et al (2010) were able to compare vulnerability to sea-level (or lake-level) rise across 22 National Park Service sites in a variety of geological and physical settings along the U.S. Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of Alaska, Caribbean, and Great Lakes shorelines. However, by contrast, similar indicator-based approaches have been attempted by researchers around the coast of India, but different studies have varied the assessment method to suit particular regions (Sudha Rani et al, 2015).…”

“…Consists of 7 steps: hazard identification and prioritisation; hazard analysis; critical facilities analysis; social analysis; economic analysis; environmental analysis; and mitigation opportunities analysis. Coastal Vulnerability Indices such as coastal vulnerability index (CVI) CVI includes physical parameters to assess the vulnerability of a coastal area to anticipated sea-level rise: relief, rock type, landform, vertical (tectonic) movement, shoreline displacement, tidal range, and wave height (Gornitz et al, 1994, Pendleton et al, 2010. Coastal social vulnerability index (CSoVi)…”

“…The ranges for sensitivity ranking of the coastal slope variable are the same as those used in other similar studies around the world [19,45]. Regions with coastal slopes lower than 3% were characterized with very high sensitivity, whereas coastal cliffs with slopes higher than 12% were classified as areas of very low sensitivity ( Table 1).…”

“…Shoreline change is one of the more complex variables because the trend is typically variable over time [45]. The ranking of the shoreline change rate is based on the range of change in beach width values.…”

“…These methods are not directly transparent since the final index does not allow for the understanding of the expectations and combinations that led to its measurement. The CVI outcomes can be shown on vulnerability maps at various scales to identify regions where the elements that add to coastal changes make greatest contributions to coastline retreat (Harvey and Woodroffe 2008;Pendleton et al 2010). First coastal vulnerability index was developed by Gornitz (1990) followed by several researchers developing diverse CVI indices across the globe (McLaughlin and Cooper 2010;Palmer et al 2011;Yin et al 2012;Denner et al 2015).…”
