      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.

  • Climate and Climate Change

  • Impacts of Climate Change on wind Regime and Water Cycle

    • 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.

  • Review of Coastal Processes and Consequences of Climate Change

    • 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.

  • Coastal Protection in Taiwan and Germany

    • 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.
