It is also one of the most vulnerable regions likely to suffer from the adverse impacts of climate change, especially increased flooding, storms, coastal erosion and drought. Responding to Climate Change: Lessons from an Australian Hotspot brings together the results of cutting-edge research from members of the Griffith Climate Change Response Program, showing how best to respond to anticipated changes and how to overcome barriClimatic changesAustraliaCoastal engineeringEnvironmental aspectsAustraliaCoastal zone managementAustraliaShore protectionAustraliaElectronic books.Climatic changesCoastal engineeringEnvironmental aspectsCoastal zone managementShore protection577.690994Burton PaulMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460063303321Responding to climate change1956507UNINA
