    Jan 10, 2024A global analysis of how human infrastructure squeezes sandy coasts Nat Commun. 2024 Jan 10 ... 6 Department of Resilient Ports and Coasts, Deltares, Delft, The Netherlands. ... we find that 33% of sandy shores harbour less than 100 m of infrastructure-free space, and that 23-30% of this space may be lost by 2100 due to rising sea levels. ...

    Jan 10, 2024Map of the coastal squeeze by human infrastructure along the world's sandy shores Infrastructure-free width is depicted in yellow-green-blue from 0 to 3 km. Coastal population density (data ...
  3. Jan 11, 2023AbstractCoastal ecosystems provide vital services, but human disturbances cause massive losses. In particular the nearshore development of infrastructure constrains the space for these ecosystems to adapt to shoreline retreat - called coastal squeeze. Nevertheless, coastal squeeze through infrastructure remains unquantified. Here we analyse 235,469 transects worldwide and show that ...
  4. Dec 23, 2023Abstract Coastal ecosystems provide vital services, but human disturbance causes massive losses. Remaining ecosystems are squeezed between rising seas and human infrastructure development. While shoreline retreat is intensively studied, coastal congestion through infrastructure remains unquantified. Here we analyse 235,469 transects worldwide to show that infrastructure occurs at a median ...

    Here we calculated the distance to the nearest human-made structure along 263,900 transects to show that infrastructure occurs at a 560-meter median distance from the shoreline worldwide. Moreover, we find that 18% of global shores harbour less than 100 m of infrastructure-free space, and that 14-17% of the unimpacted space may drown by 2100 ...

    Jan 10, 2024The current state of coastal squeeze by infrastructure. We found human structures to be ubiquitous along sandy shores worldwide. We found that of the 235,469 transect analysed, 28% were limited by natural barriers caused by coastal geometry or steep cliffs before being intersected by any paved roads or buildings (Supplementary Fig. 2).Of the remaining 168,654 transects, 93% were confined by ...
