Abstract

Climate change will have pervasive effects on the world's coasts, but at broad scales these changes have typically proven difficult to analyse in a quantifi- able manner. Consequently, individual management decisions are often taken without consideration of the wider, regional coastal system with its physical linkages between geomorphological elements.
