- Summary
- Research Highlights: ► Examines theoretical responses of cliffed coasts to increased sea-level rise rates. ► Simple methods reproduce a sea-level-rise/erosion relationship derived using SCAPE. ► The response of cliffed coasts to sea-level rise depends on dominant processes. ► Rocky coasts typically behave as negative feedback systems. ► Different coastal environments can have similar responses to sea-level rise.
