The management of coastal flooding and erosion, In: Thorne CR, et al (Eds.), Future Flood and Coastal Erosion Risks

This book presents a comprehensive insight into the flooding system, spanning multiple disciplines across different sectors of the flood and flood management professions. It forecasts the manner in which flooding and coastal erosion risks may increase during the 21st century due to climate change and socio-economic development in the UK and presents an examination of the integrated measures necessary to manage future increases in risk, through sustainable methods. It summarises the previously unpublished science and engineering behind the Foresight Project of Flood and Coastal Defence performed on behalf of the Office of science and Technology (now the Office of Science and Innovation) and reveals the methodological basis for the study as well as its outcomes
