Journal: Water
Year: 2024

The coastal zone of the Sea of Azov is a dynamic environment influenced by various natural and anthropogenic factors, including wind, wave action, beach material removal, and cultivation on cliff edges. The coastal zone of freezing seas is also influenced by ice cover during winter. This study investigates the dynamics of the Sea of Azov’s coastal zone during winter (2014–2023), focusing on the impacts of waves and ice, to identify the most vulnerable coastal areas. We analyzed high-resolution s
