The aim of this study is to detect shoreline changes along part of the coastal zone of Piena during the time period between 1969 and 2000 using aerial photographs and satellite images. Additionally, a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the future sea-level rise (triggered by the global climate change) implications to the physical and socioeconomic environment of the area is attempted taking into account various sea-level rise scenarios. Retreating as well as prograding regions along the study area were defined and retreating/prograding rates for the time periods 1969-1987 and 1987-2000 were estimated using GIS and Remote Sensing techniques. Building activity rates for the coastal area of Paralia Katerinis were also estimated for the same periods. The coastline of the study area is retreating^ except than the area north of torrent Mavroneri where a progradation rate of 48 cm/year was estimated between 1969 and 1987. Retreating rate of the coast for the northern part of the area (Saltworks) is estimated to be 25 cm/year and 19 cm/yrear for the periods of 1969-1987 and 1987-2000 respectively. The broader study area is particularly vulnerable to a potential future sealevel rise due to the low-lying topography of the coastal zone and intensive socioeconomic activities such as tourism and commerce.

Holocene Sea Level

New radiocarbon ages pertaining to the Holocene sea-level history of the Canadian Beaufort shelf are presented. The ages were obtained on samples of freshwater and tidal-marsh peat beds from offshore boreholes and shallow cores in the coastal zone and on molluscs and a single piece of wood deposited in foraminifera-bearing marine sediments. Although none of the samples record directly the position of relative sea level, the suite of ages constrains the regional curve sufficiently to suggest a faster rate of mid Holocene sea level rise (7–14 mm/a) than previously thought. The rate of relative rise slowed markedly in the last 3000 years, approaching the present at a maximum probable rate of 2.5 mm/a.

Viet Nam is considered one of countries most affected by climate change and sea-level rise. It results in many negative effects, such as flooding, saline intrusion and beach erosion occurred in the coastal zones. Quang Ninh with more than 250 km coastline, located in the northeastern part of Vietnam, is one of the vulnerable coastal provinces under the heavily affected due to the sea level rise. In order to evaluate the changes of flooded areas and tidal beaches due to the sea level rise in Quang Ninh coastal zone a 2D numerical model is set up, using the 3-grids nesting technique. The numerical model is calibrated by using the harmonic constants of 8 tidal constituents at Hon Dau tide station and validated with the observed data. On the basis of the climate change scenarios (RCP4.5, RCP8.5) in the period from 2020 to 2100, the corresponding sea level values are used in the numerical modeling to calculate the changes of flooded areas and tidal beaches due to the sea level rise. The obtained results on changing of the flooded area and tidal beach in Quang Ninh coastal zone are not only statically by changing water sea levels but also due to changing of the tidal range in this area. The calculated results point out that districts under the most affected of the sea level rise are Quang Yen, Tien Yen, Hai Ha, Mong Cai.
