A response to a commentary by Dickson et al. on a previous study about the impact of sea-level rise on rock coast cliff erosion rates. The authors of the response agree with Dickson et al.'s observations that the model used in the study represents rock coast processes in a highly abstract manner and that the response to sea-level rise will not be consistent across different environments. However, they emphasize that their results still highlight the potential for rock coasts to be more sensitive to sea-level rise than previously thought, which calls for further research. The authors acknowledge the limitations of their model and the need for alternative models that can simulate rock coast evolution over shorter timescales. They also note that their study sites do not provide a direct analogue for future sea-level rise rates. The authors conclude that rock coasts should be included in climate change planning and that historical rates of erosion cannot be used to assess future risk. They hope that this conversation will lead to more research on worldwide coastal cliff response to sea-level rise. [Extracted from the article] |
