Climate Change Impacts on the Stability of Small Tidal InletsAuthor(s): Duong Minh Trang\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781138373426, 978-1138373426\nSynopsis\nThis work explores coastal zones in the vicinity of tidal inlets, which are commonly utilized for navigation, sand mining, waterfront developments and fishing and recreation, are under particularly high population pressure and will only be exacerbated by foreshadowed climate change (CC). Although few recent studies have investigated CC impacts on very large tidal inlet systems, the nature and magnitude of CC impacts on the more commonly found small tidal inlets (STIs) remains practically un-investigated to date. The combination of pre-dominant occurrence in developing countries, socio-economic relevance and low community resilience, general lack of data, and high sensitivity to seasonal forcing makes STIs potentially very vulnerable to CC impacts. \n\nThis .
