INFLUENCE OF SHORELINE CHANGE DUE TO SEA LEVEL RISE AND WAVE CHARACTERISTICS ON CLIMATE CHANGE -CASE STUDY OF TOTTORI SAND DUNE COAST-

Abstract

 Sea level rise and wave characteristics change under climate change have been reported. In generally, the beach profile change on climate change is simulated using Bruun rule considering only sea level rise. However the wave characteristics change was predicted. And the impact assessment of wave characteristics change has been carried out by several researchers. In this study, the shoreline change under climate change considering sea level rise and wave characteristics change were investigated at Tottori Sand Dune Coast. It is found that change of shoreline retreat is proportional to sea level rise, and the shoreline change with wave characteristics change is smaller than the shoreline change with sea level rise.
