Doing nothing is no solution: Coastal erosion management in Guardamar del Segura (Spain)
SCORE project partner from UA have published a paper in Marine Policy. It is available in open access. Abstract Human activities like dam construction in rivers and urban development in coastal areas, combined with climate change, are degrading coastal systems. As a result, many European countries have implemented laws and strategies to protect their shorelines. This…
Read MoreBeyond Temperature Peaks: The Growing Persistence and Intensity of Tmin and Tmax Heatwaves in Portugal’s Changing Climate (1980/1981–2022/2023).
SCORE project partner from IST-ID have published a paper in Atmosphere . It is available in open access. Abstract This study examines the trends in heatwave characteristics across mainland Portugal from 1980/1981 to 2022/2023, utilising ERA5-Land reanalysis data. To achieve this, the study applies the Heatwave Magnitude Index (HWMI) to identify heatwave days for minimum (Tmin)…
Read MoreLocal authorities or national frameworks? A global review on coastal protection policies
SCORE project partner from UA have published a paper in Environmental Development. It is available in open access. Abstract The intensification of human activities and the impacts of climate change are poised to degrade coastal ecosystems significantly in the future, potentially endangering both human populations and infrastructure. In response, many countries have developed strategies over recent…
Read MoreExtreme weather events and environmental contamination under climate change: A comparative review of ten European coastal cities
SCORE project partner from UCC have published a paper in Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health. It is available in open access. Abstract Climate change intensifies extreme weather events. Their impacts on environmental contamination are investigated in ten European coastal cities, spanning diverse climatic regions: Sligo (Ireland), Dublin (Ireland), Vilanova (Spain), Benidorm (Spain), Oarsoaldea (Spain),…
Read MoreA novel multi-hazard risk assessment framework for coastal cities under climate change
SCORE project partners from UCC and UA have published a paper in Science of the Total Environment. It is available in open access. Abstract Coastal cities, as centres of human habitation, economic activity and biodiversity, are confronting the ever-escalating challenges posed by climate change. In this work, a novel Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment framework is presented…
Read MoreBoosting co-creation of Nature-based Solutions within Living Labs: Interrelating enablers using Interpretive Structural Modelling
SCORE project partners from IHS, ENoLL and ERINN have published a paper in Environmental Science and Policy. It is available in open access. Abstract Co-creation is at the intersection of Nature-based Solutions and Living Lab concepts, which adopt collaboration and innovation amongst different stakeholders to address complex issues such as climate change. Nature-based Solutions have been increasingly…
Read MoreBeyond coastal hazards: A comprehensive methodology for the assessment of climate-related hazards in European coastal cities
SCORE project partners from UCC have published a paper in Ocean & Coastal Management. It is available in open access. Abstract As climate change intensifies, European coastal cities face escalating risks from multiple climate-related hazards. Addressing these challenges requires capturing the multifaceted nature of climate risks adequately. This paper presents a novel multi-hazard risk assessment methodology…
Read MoreMeasurement of Solar Noise Temperature in Ku-Band using a Satellite Broadcast Receiver
SCORE project partners from UNIPI and MBI have presented a paper at the IEEE AP-S/URSI 2024. It is available in open access. Abstract Twice per year, every geostationary communication satellite is seen from the Earth with the Sun transiting behind it, causing the receivers whose beams are directed towards this satellite to pick up an interfering noise due to…
Read MoreAssessing the impacts of coastal and riverine urban floods in the future climate, results from the SCORE project
SCORE project partners from ATU, Consorzio Lamma, CNR have presented a paper at the EGU General Assembly 2024. It is available in open access. Abstract Assessing the local effects of climate change on coastal areas, and in particular on coastal cities and settlements, is one of the greatest challenges facing our society, aimed at finding innovative and sustainable…
Read MoreAssessing Shoreline Dynamics under Macro to Meso-tidal Conditions through Integrative low-cost Remote Sensing Technique
SCORE project partners from ATU have presented a paper at the EGU General Assembly 2024. It is available in open access. Abstract Coastal erosion, a critical issue in shoreline management, arises from a combination of natural dynamics and anthropogenic influences. In macro to meso-tidal regions, this phenomenon is particularly pronounced due to the interplay of sea level…
