Tide Trap Stranding explores the increasing dangers of coastal exploration due to climate change, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events. This book, bridging Earth Sciences, Geography, and Environment, highlights how traditional risk assessments are failing. It investigates the heightened risks of coastal erosion, where shorelines are receding at alarming rates, and the growing frequency of tidal surges, posing threats to both human safety and coastal infrastructure.
The book presents a historical context, tracing human interaction with coastlines, and offers a foundation in geomorphology, oceanography, and climatology. Through case studies of past coastal disasters, the book analyzes factors contributing to dangerous situations, such as underestimated erosion rates and the impact of infrastructure. It champions adaptive strategies, integrating real-time data and predictive modeling, to enhance coastal resilience.
The book progresses from fundamental concepts to case studies, predictive models, and concludes with practical recommendations for policymakers and explorers.
