Climate-change impact assessment for inlet-interrupted coastlines

Climate-driven sea-level rise will result in coastline retreat due to landward movement of the coastal profile. However, coastlines adjacent to tidal inlets will also be influenced by changes in the rate of basin infill and variations in rainfall. A model demonstrates that typical practice, which fails to incorporate these processes, is liable to represent only 25–50% of total coastline change.
