Climate change impacts on the Mediterranean Coastal Zones
Brochier, Frédéric; Ramieri, Emiliano - 2001
Climate change is widely recognised as a serious threat to the world's environment. The Mediterranean basin is considered as a unique scaled down model to assess the severity of potential climate change impacts on coastal zones. The paper examines the regional differences in the vulnerability of...

An overview of the vulnerability of Venice to the impacts of climate change and sea level rise
Ramieri, Emiliano - 2000
The scientific community agrees on the fact that climate change and consequent impacts will not be uniform on the planet but will assume specific regional and local characteristics. Some regions of the world will therefore be more vulnerable than others. In this perspective the assessment of a...
