| Zusammenfassung |
| A methodology for coastal hazard assessment at regional scale is
presented and applied to the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean). The method
separately evaluates erosion and inundation hazards by using wave time
series and beach characteristics (slope and sediment grain size). Obtained
hazard time series are fitted to extreme probability distributions for
different coastal sectors which are defined in function of
local wave climate. This approach allows to compare the spatial variation
of hazard intensities for a given probability of occurrence and, thus, to
objectively identify the most hazardous areas along the coast in terms of
erosion and inundation. Obtained results indicate that the coast north of
Barcelona is more hazardous than the southern coast regarding inundation
for any given probability. With respect to storm-induced erosion, the central
coast of Catalonia is the less hazardous area, although spatial variations
in erosion along the coast are smaller than the observed for inundation. |
