Our coasts provide a home and livelihoods for millions of people; many of the world's biggest cities are along coastlines. This volume explores the wide spectrum of coastal hazards, from high-magnitude, low-frequency events like tsunamis and hurricanes, to longer-term processes like urban regeneration and changing agricultural practices.
