Mareggiate: vulnerability, impacts on the coast, analysis on transversal profiles - Impacts on the coast

The maps summarize the distribution of the different types of damage recorded along the regional coast in the period 1946-2010, on the occasion of storm surge events. In fact, the maps illustrate the places that have been hit with greater recurrence by the storms and the type of damage suffered. The locations reported are those that occur most frequently in reports (generally with more than 5 reports) while the various types of impact have been summarized in five categories:E: erosion of the beach and dune.I: submersion for marina.T entrance: overflow of canals and port-channels.D: Damage to maritime and defence works. B: damage to bathing establishments and infrastructure.For more information please refer to the volume: The storm surges and impacts on the coast in Emilia-Romagna 1946-2010 (pdf, 6.2 MB) available at the following address: http://ambiente.regione.emilia-romagna.it/geology/dissemination/publications/books/mareggiate-impatti-costa-Emilia-Romagna
