Coastal and Marine Hazards, Risks, and Disasters, Second Edition is a comprehensive scientific guide to understanding the diverse hazards and disasters that impact the Earth's coasts and oceans. This second edition builds upon the groundbreaking work of its predecessor, becoming the first book to comprehensively integrate scientific, social, and economic aspects related to disasters such as hazard identification, risk analysis, and planning. It delves into the mechanics of relevant hazard processes, discusses preparedness, response, and recovery strategies, and explores the economics of loss and remediation.
Throughout this revised edition, case studies of historically significant hazards and disasters, as well as the recent catastrophic events, are presented. Four brand new chapters have been added to enhance the coverage: Marine Debris Hazards, Coastal Wind-Blown Sand Hazards, Coastal Zone Vulnerabilities: A Social Perspective, and Coastal Zone Adaptations: Planning for the Future. The book also includes updated content on anthropogenic hazards, such as oil spills and marine debris, and features case studies highlighting the impacts of Hurricanes Joaquin, Hermine, Matthew, Harvey, Irma, and Maria in the Asia-Pacific region.
Understanding the risks and disasters associated with our coastal and marine environments is crucial for developing effective strategies for preparedness, response, and recovery. Coastal and Marine Hazards, Risks, and Disasters, Second Edition provides a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in mitigating the impacts of these hazards and ensuring the safety and well-being of coastal communities.
