Climate variability and warming in Coastal Odisha: assessing interannual temperature trends and impacts

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(1)

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2025

Coastal Odisha, strategically positioned between the Bay of Bengal and a vast inland landmass, is highly susceptible to climate change variability impacts. This study comprehensively examines interannual temperature its relationship with mean seasonal using 54 years homogenised surface meteorological data (1969–2022) from seven WMO-standard stations. To assess inter-annual in association precipitation, difference standard deviations (SD) two periods (e.g. 1969–1996 1995–2022) along relation running 28-year values SD means for period 1969 2022, F-ratio test slope correlation have been conducted. By comparing distinct (1969–1996 1995–2022), analysis reveals significant climatic shifts, including rising temperatures increased at most stations, but some stations show an increase decreased or fluctuating variability. These trends are linked heightened frequency extreme weather events, cascading impacts on agriculture, water resources, health, infrastructure. Notably, findings identify localised patterns where warming accompanied by reduced variability, offering nuanced insights into region's complex dynamics. Explicitly noted limitations prior studies low station density, short temporal scales, lack focus variability),this contributes novel research Odisha employing long-term, high-resolution station-level advanced homogenisation techniques. The unique inverse variance disrupted coastal Odisha. Its hold critical implications future as foundation regional modelling, event prediction, studying variability's socio-economic Actionable recommendations, targeted disaster risk reduction measures, adaptive agricultural practices, resilient infrastructure planning, underscore policy relevance. addressing gaps knowledge, this work provides roadmap integrating state-level national adaptation frameworks, ensuring preparedness evolving challenges

Coastal Vulnerability Index sensitivity to shoreline position and coastal elevation parameters in the Niger Delta region, Nigeria

The Science of The Total Environment, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 919, С. 170830 - 170830

Опубликована: Фев. 8, 2024

It is imperative to assess coastal vulnerability safeguard areas against extreme events and sea-level rise. In the Niger Delta region, index assessment in past focused on open-access parameters without comparing parameters, especially elevation shoreline change. This sensitivity method limits information for planning of adaptation. The area under investigation Delta, which distinguished by its low-lying plains substantial ecological economic significance. light selected Sentinel-1 GRD images from 2015 2022 during high tidal conditions were used delineate position change rate. Also, different DEMs derive using Geographic Information System (GIS) approach. study employs 5 such as shorelines obtained SAR several Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), geomorphology, mean sea level rise, significant wave height, tide range, conjunction with initial Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) reveals that type DEM significantly influences ranking and, subsequently, CVI. Differences rate estimation methods (EPR LRR) also impact rankings but a lesser extent. findings highlight 40.1 % 58.9 coastline highly or very vulnerable depending used. underscores potential CVI data data-poor countries identifying may need protection Lastly, it points out higher resolution DEMs.

Analyzing and Modeling Shoreline Variability at the Barrier Spit of Chilika Lagoon

Marine Geodesy, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 36

Опубликована: Март 19, 2025

Shoreline change has emerged as an alarming threat to the coastline worldwide, impacting natural environment and human development. Among India's coastal lagoons, Chilika Lagoon bears international importance for its rich biological significance. However, growing erosion along Odisha coast poses a significant concern lagoon's stability. The present study investigates shoreline 80 km stretch of over 46-year period (1975–2020) using DSAS 5.0 model. was divided into four zones, each exhibiting distinct patterns accretion. Overall, accretion dominated erosion, with Zone 2 showing least variability 3 experiencing highest rates, particularly after artificial opening Sipakuda inlet in 2000. 4, high variability, demonstrated lower rate predictions 2013–2040, LITLINE model, revealed both erosional depositional trends, advancement south Gabakunda recession north Dhalabali inlet. Cyclonic storm landfall positions dynamics were identified key contributors change, especially Zones 4. Future wave climate simulations suggest lagoon is not at immediate risk from climate. highlights vulnerability northern spit, recommendations strategic management, mangrove restoration, periodic dredging inner channels mitigate erosion. These measures align principles SDGs 13, SDG 14, 11, 15, supporting sustainable management practices. This research underscores balancing ecological preservation resilience efforts.
