Channel: IRD
Date: 01/06/2016

All over the world the coast is particularly threatened by climate change.
Unquestionably, it faces the global rise in the level of the sea.

But it must also face the upheaval of climate phenomena such as monsoons, changes in frequency and intensity of extreme events (storms, typhoons etc ...), which will cause destructive erosion.

In the ANR COASTVAR program to try to quantify the impact of these major weather events and their variability, scientists from the IRD and its partners are conducting a multi-site study and multi tools.
It begins with a measurement campaign in Nha Trang in Vietnam ...
