Review: Global warming and climate change are of growing importance to coastal communities due to rising sea-levels and changing patterns of storms and rainfall. This book together with its companion book Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008, form the proceedings of the conference of the same name held in April 2008 in Hawaii where over 100 papers were accepted. This book contains 24 papers presenting current research, planning and preparedness, field and experimental studies and building studies, numerical modeling, tsunami deposits, risk assessment and mitigation.
