    Welcome to SeaPiaC

    Coastal areas are vital for settlement and trade, with over 100 million people living in flood-prone zones globally. Effective coastal protection prevents regular flooding, essential for regions like northern Germany and Taiwan. Taiwan, frequently hit by typhoons, faces significant human and property losses in coastal areas annually. Climate change exacerbates coastal challenges, increasing hydrometeorological risks. Reevaluation of protection strategies is crucial, emphasizing sustainable, nature-based approaches. Adapting coastal protection measures is imperative to mitigate risks and sustain coastal communities amidst changing environmental conditions.

    • Understanding the causes of climate change and its impacts on the regional water cycle and wind regime.
    • Understanding how these changes manifest in coastal areas, particularly in Germany and Taiwan.
    • Assessing the consequences of changing hydrological and marine meteorological conditions, including extremes, on coastal hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes, as well as on coastal areas.
    • Exploring basic adaptation strategies and measures for climate change, with a focus on Nature-based solutions (NBS) alongside traditional coastal protection measures.
    • Acquiring knowledge about the development of NBS, different concepts of NBS, and their potential applications in coastal and flood protection.

    Within the SeaPiaC learning arrangement the following topics from the field of coastal engineering are discussed in more detail:

    • Fundamentals and findings on climate change and climate change related impactson regional wind regime and water cycle
    • Knowledge of hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes in the coastal zone
    • Knowledge of the impacts of climate change in coastal hydrodynamics and morphodynamics processes
    • Susatainable nature-based approaches of coastal protection in the context of classical coastal measures

    We discuss the above mentioned topics against the background of the different natural coastal conditions prevailing on the coast if Taiwand and Germany.

    For a basic understanding of the findings on climate change and its regional manifestations, as well as for understanding the impacts of climate change on the components of the regional hydrological cycle and wind regime, some fundamental concepts and relationships need to be discussed. Within this chapter the following aspects are discussed in an introductory manner:

    • Difference between weather and climate
    • Difference between climate variability and climate change
    • Causes of climate change
    • General impacts of climate change in a global scale
    • Climate models and regional projections

    In the previous chapter Climate and Climate Change we discussed the fundamentals of the climate and its natural and anthropogenic drivers and causes and got an overview of already detectable changes in the climatic system on a global scale. In the following, we want to have a closer look on the impacts of a changing climate on processes and phenomenon in the water cycle and wind regime. Here we differentiate between the manifestations of the selected phenomenon for condition in Taiwanese and German coastal waters.

    This section provides a brief overview of coastal engineering fundamentals, covering hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. It discusses long-term changes in water levels, components contributing to measured water levels, and the transformation of sea state and waves near coastlines. Additionally, it explores coastal currents as drivers of sediment transport in both long-shore and cross-shore directions. The section also touches on the influence of these processes on coastal structures and morphology in the context of climate change.

    This section should provide you with a brief overview of the general coastal protection in Taiwan and Germany. This includes a brief overview of the legal anchoring of the coastal proction in both countries. Here, relevant legal frameworks, laws, regulations and responsibilities are compiled.
    The second part of this section (fundamentals of adaptation to climate change) prepares you for the following section on Nature-based solution for coastal protection itself.

    This chapter explores using natural ecosystems like beaches, wetlands, and mangroves to protect coastlines from erosion and climate change. It discusses methods such as beach nourishment and dune stabilization through case studies. These approaches offer benefits like habitat restoration and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional methods, highlighting the importance of integrating nature-based solutions into coastal planning for long-term resilience.
