Summary: Coastal erosion is increasing worldwide due to climate change, leading to more frequent and intense coastal flooding events. Current responses to coastal erosion lack a systematic understanding of the coastal-change processes in the context of climate change. A literature review suggests that a coupled coastal simulation system with a nearshore wave model can play a critical role in assessing and protecting against coastal risks.

Summary: The study proposes an accessible and replicable coastal vulnerability indicator framework to assist policymakers in allocating funding for coastal natural infrastructure recovery post-natural disasters. The analysis highlights three main challenges during the implementation of the framework: compressed decision-making time frame, data availability, and accessibility of results to stakeholders. A proposed framework aims to be operational in a short period of time, simplifies data gathering efforts, and uses transparent methods to be understandable to a broad group of stakeholders.

Summary: This paper systematically summarizes modern approaches utilizing space technology to form CVI in order to assess the significant processes affecting the vulnerability and evolution of coastal areas. It is envisioned that the exploitation of space technology will facilitate CVI development and promote effective coastal management strategies.

Summary: This article introduces a quantitative analysis method to measure social vulnerability in urban spaces, using multivariate methods and models to provide indices for different dimensions of vulnerability, and mapping out the global vulnerability index. It successfully identifies significant vulnerability spatial patterns and measures how vulnerability can differ in cases of observed heterogeneity in urban spaces.

Summary: Coherent wave control is used to suppress or enhance outgoing signals by exploiting the interference of multiple waves. In this study, we explore the temporal analogue of this phenomenon, showcasing ultrabroadband temporal coherent wave control using time interfaces. We demonstrate the photonic analogue of mechanical collisions with adjustable phase features, enabling the erasure, enhancement, and reshaping of optical pulses. This research provides a pathway for sculpting broadband light without spatial boundaries, within an ultrafast and low-energy platform.

Summary: Disaster risk reduction involves identifying and assessing critical infrastructure, but often overlooks the impact of systemic marginalization on access to these facilities. Understanding what is considered critical within a community can enhance adaptive capacity and reduce vulnerability for marginalized populations. A case study on Latinx coastal community residents in Oregon highlights the need to broaden the definition of critical facilities and incorporate marginalized perspectives to promote equitable access and utilization during emergencies.

Summary: In this study, the evolution of OpenBSD vulnerabilities over 22 years (1998-2020) and Firefox vulnerabilities over 9 years (2011-2020) were analyzed. The findings indicate that both OpenBSD and Firefox become more secure over time, but developers today do not necessarily produce more secure code. Similar security mistakes are made by OpenBSD and Firefox developers, but Firefox vulnerabilities are easier to exploit. Additionally, Firefox has a vulnerability density almost one order of magnitude higher than that of OpenBSD, making it more vulnerable.

Summary: Coastal areas are complex systems affected by various natural, environmental, and human factors. A comprehensive evaluation of their spatial and temporal features is necessary for effective coastal zone management. Vulnerability assessment is crucial for identifying weaknesses and implementing adaptation measures, and current assessments involve segmenting coastal areas to observe spatial variations.

Summary: Spatial spillovers play a significant role in private landowner armoring decisions in Oregon. Removing current regulations limiting armoring has the potential to greatly increase future armoring. Additionally, including sea-level rise projections suggests a further increase in armoring in the future.

Summary: Climate change-induced hazards have a negative impact on small islands in Indonesia, including Sabang Island. Rising sea levels and increasing coastal inundation pose a significant threat to low-lying coastal areas. However, there is a lack of studies on long-term trends in climatic variables and sea level changes in the region. This study aims to comprehensively assess sea level changes and coastal inundation around Sabang Island, using satellite-derived datasets and model-based products.

Summary: The research aims to estimate the potential impact of climate change on sea level rise and its vulnerability to coastal habitat. The findings show an increasing trend of sea level rise from the base period to the projected period, particularly in the major port city of India. By quantitatively estimating physical environmental characteristics including geomorphology, sea level change, coastal slope, relative sea-level change, mean wave height, mean tide range, shoreline change rate, land use and human activities, and population, a qualitative coastal vulnerability index (CVI) is developed. The projected sea level rise is increasing at the highest rate under the higher Representative Concentrations Pathways (RCP) scenario. This information is valuable for decision-makers in formulating appropriate development strategies for sustainable coastal ecology in India.

Summary: The study finds that global coastal overtopping has increased by over 50% in the last two decades, and under a RCP 8.5 scenario this could increase up to 50 times by 2100 compared to today.

Summary: Mapping soil resources at a national scale in large countries like India is challenging due to limited soil data availability. This study produced digital maps of key soil properties across India using legacy data. The relationships between soil properties, bioclimatic factors, and terrain attributes were quantified, providing valuable information for soil management planning.
