The outputs of this project will be published once research is complete.

Details

The project will develop a consistent dataset of indicators of cliff toe sensitivity to accelerated relative sea level rise, for coastal regions of Wales and England. This will help predict shore and coastal recession over the next century and improve our long-term planning and prioritisation of investment.

The expected completion date is spring 2024.
