Decisions, Costs, Funding To Protect Coastal Cities: Populations And Assets (Personal And Municipal/National). 330 $aThis book discusses the identification of, solutions to, and management of threats to high population coastal cities and their seaports from global warming, climate change and endemic hazards. These include prevention of sea water intrusion of freshwater coastal aquifers, emplacement of barriers that mitigate the threats from sea level rise, and inundation of urban centers plus those from storm surges that cause flooding and salination of inshore terrain. The book assesses mitigation of the effects of extreme weather events such as drought, and major flooding from heavy rainfall on coastal urban centers, or on associated drainage basins. It also considers how coastal cities can counter vulnerabilities from other physical hazards (e.g., earthquakes - building codes) and health hazards (e.g., pollution, public health response - preparedness) that may be related to a city?s geological/geographical location and service as a port of entry for goods and travelers (regional and international). The book also cites the high costs of safeguarding citizen and municipal assets, but notes possible sources of potential funding especially from less developed and developing nations. The book is written to give strong background information to students majoring in environmental sciences or those in other majors with interests in the effects of global warming/climate change, and will be of interest to social scientists, think tank personnel, government planners, and lay persons in environmentally oriented organizations. . 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,$x2191-5547 606 $aCoasts 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aCoastal Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35020 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aUrban Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49010 615 0$aCoasts. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 14$aCoastal Sciences. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 676 $a387.1 676 $a307.11609146 700 $aSiegel$b Frederic R$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0508645 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910366651303321 996 $aAdaptations of Coastal Cities to Global Warming, Sea Level Rise, Climate Change and Endemic Hazards$92044192 997 $aUNINA
