Hazards

Coastal Erosion

The aim of this innovation project was to better understand the long-term management of coastal located waste sites on dynamic coasts and assess different management approaches. It assessed the impact of coastal processes affected by sea level rise on three selected landfills and investigated different management options to prevent pollution.

Further Information

Reports on three coastal landfills studied as part of the Coastal landfill and Shoreline Management project.
