Description

The impact of sea-level rise on the coastal lowlands on the world is one of the most important topics in modern geographical research. With over half the world's population lining on or near coastal lowlands, the effects of sea-level rises will have a profound human impact. In this book, specialists in this field examine the likely impacts of sea-level rises on European coastal lowlands, such as those in the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy and Spain.
