Advancements in Coastal Hazards Research in Asia: Identifying Hazards, Managing Risk

This book is a collective effort by researchers across different fields bringing together their expert knowledge of coastal hazards and risk, including rapid onset events such as storms and tsunamis, high frequency hazards such as monsoon and astronomical tides, and the longer-term hazard, i.e., sea level rise. Chapters covered in this volume review current knowledge and techniques in coastal hazard research, with global examples and case-studies from Asia. This book consists of 11 chapters, separated into three umbrella themes, (i) "Emerging" coastal threats, (ii) Uncovering the past, forecasting the future, and (iii) Implications for coastal risk.
