| Popis: | Many coastlines are naturally exposed to submersion and erosion hazards. In this work, a combined GIS and wave modeling method is used to identify areas exposed to coastal erosion. The main objective of this work is the qualitative identification of shoreline sectors where wave and swell energy are important. The selected study area is “Cap Rosa” located in the El Tarf coast in eastern Algeria. The obtained results show that the eastern part of the study area is the most affected by wave impact. This preliminary identification can be used in a detailed vulnerability assessment along the coast while integrating other factors (physical and socio-economic) beside the shoreline exposure. |
