European coastlines facing increased erosion risk due to climate change.
Coastal erosion is a big problem in Europe, with 25% of coastlines retreating. Severe storms can cause erosion up to 20-30 meters. To monitor this, new technologies like satellite remote sensing are being used to track changes in shorelines and coastal features. The "Space for Shore" project aims to provide accurate information to help manage coastal erosion. The project uses data from satellites like Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 to create products that support decision-making for coastal managers. The goal is to improve understanding of coastal erosion and help protect coastlines in Europe.
