The project carried out between April 2011 and August 2012 contributes to our understanding of coastal flooding in Scotland. A practitioners' guidance document was produced as part of the project. The purpose of this guidance is to provide the most up-to-date knowledge and information relating to coastal flooding in Scotland ensuring that the information in this field is based on the best available scientific evidence. In particular, it aims to synthesise existing science and research on issues relevant to climate change, sea level rise, coastal flooding, coastal erosion and flood defences together with strategies of coastal adaptation.
The work was carried out by a team from the James Hutton Intitute and the University of Dundee.
