This book aims to examine the impact of sea level rise and coastal infrastructure on coastal erosion, coastal vegetation or environment, and coastal disasters from field measurements and remote sensing data using geographic information systems (GIS). The significance of the book is the integration between different aspects of sea level rise and coastal infrastruc‐ tures with their impacts on coastal erosion and coastal disasters. Most of the work represent‐ ed in this book is based on accurate in situ observations or remote sensing measurements and GIS technologies in the monitoring of the dynamic change of the nature system, such as
