Description

The worldâs population is expected to increase to over 8 billion by

2020. About 60% of the total population of the world lives in coastal areas and 65% of the cities with a population of over

2. 5 million are located in coastal areas. Written by an international panel of experts in the fields of engineering and risk management, The Handbook of Coastal Disasters Mitigation presents a coherent overview of 10 years of coastal disaster risk management and engineering, during which some of the most relevant events of recent time have taken place, including the Indian Ocean tsunami, hurricanes Katrina and Sandy in the United States or the 2011 Japanese tsunami.
