Resumo: | Coastal zones worldwide present intense environmental dynamics associated to the interaction
among atmosphere/lithosphere and hydrosphere. These places are rich in natural resources and
have been intensely occupied by socioeconomic activities. Therefore, populations nearby are
exposed to risks of change in natural processes related to climate change. In this setting, the
estuary of Piranhas-Açu River is a case study for The Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) in
different climate change scenarios. This index accounts physical and dynamics features of the
environment and was calculated using Geotechnology tools, Digital Image Processing, Landsat
8-OLI multispectral imagery and airborne LiDAR altimetry data controlled using precision
geodesy kinematic and static ground control points. The resultant thematic mapping was
integrated in Geographic Information System in order to simulate inundation risk of the estuary
with different projections of sea level rise in extreme events conditions, according to the
International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The results for best and the worst scenarios
show 17% - 42% of the coast in high and very high coastal erosion vulnerability and 274-
291km2 of estuary at flood risk. |
