The Humber Estuary and Holderness Coast
This document provides an overview of coastal processes and landforms along the Humberside and Lincolnshire coastline in the UK. It describes how the coastline has changed over time, from the last ice age until present day, noting that rising sea levels flooded the area around 6000 years ago and created new coastal landforms like Holderness. The coastline consists of interconnected coastal areas from Flamborough Head to Gibraltar Point that function as a single coastal system influenced by tidal flows, waves, and sediment movement. Future sea level rise poses risks to the coastline from increased flooding and erosion. The document aims to provide context to help coastal managers make informed decisions that work with natural coastal processes.
Holderness Case Study
The Holderness Coast in eastern England is eroding rapidly, losing an average of 2 meters per year to the North Sea. Over the past 6,000 years, more than 30 villages have been lost to coastal erosion as waves batter the soft boulder clay cliffs. The cliffs are prone to collapse as rainwater enters cracks and causes the clay material to slump down onto narrow beaches that offer little protection from wave energy due to longshore drift carrying away sediment. Various erosional processes such as wetting and drying of cliffs, storm waves attacking the shoreline, and longshore drift reducing beach size threaten the remaining villages along the Holderness Coast.
Holderness case study
The Holderness Coastline of England suffers from the highest rates of coastal erosion in Europe due to its soft, easily eroded geology and exposure to strong winds and waves from the North Sea. Several villages have been lost to coastal erosion over the centuries. While some areas implement hard coastal defenses like seawalls and rock armor to combat erosion, these strategies are costly to maintain and can worsen erosion elsewhere down the coast. Integrated coastal zone management is now sought to balance protection of infrastructure with the natural shoreline processes.
Coastal Case Studies
The document discusses coastal erosion issues facing several locations in the UK and Bangladesh. It examines the social, economic, political, and environmental impacts of cliff collapse and coastal flooding. These include loss of homes and land, damage to infrastructure, rising insurance costs, and loss of habitats. The document also outlines management strategies for some of the locations, such as building sea walls and replenishing eroded areas.
Coastal Processes on the Holderness Coast
1) The UK coastline has been divided into coastal cells and sub-cells to simplify understanding coastal processes. The East Riding coastline is designated as sub-cell 2a.
2) Cliff erosion along the East Riding coast is complex and dynamic, driven by random wave and tidal forces. Erosion produces sediment that is sorted and transported south by these coastal processes. Beach levels fluctuate in response, impacting erosion rates.
3) Erosion occurs in four zones - the cliff face, nearshore beach, offshore clay face, and protected offshore seabed. Cliff erosion averages 1.7m/year while offshore erosion likely matches this rate, totaling around 3 million cubic meters of erosion

Here are the key coastal management schemes at Swanage and their purposes:
1. Groynes - To trap sediment moving along the shore by longshore drift, building up the beach in front of the groynes.
2. Sea wall - To act as a hard barrier protecting the town from wave attack and sea level rise.
3. Beach replenishment - To replace sediment lost from the beach through coastal processes, maintaining a wide beach as protection.
4. Planting marram grass - To stabilise sand dunes and prevent/slow blowouts, protecting the hinterland from flooding and erosion.
5. Offshore breakwaters - To reduce wave energy reaching the shore by causing waves to break

Holderness coastal erosion case study
The Holderness Coast in Yorkshire, UK is one of Europe's fastest eroding coastlines, losing an average of 2 meters of land per year, which is around 2 million tons of material. It is composed of soft, erodible boulder clay deposited over glacial chalk bedrock. Resistant Flamborough Head chalk formations and deposition at Spurn Point evidence longshore drift along the coast. Landslips, rockfalls, and mudflows are coastal erosion processes affecting the less resistant boulder clay cliffs.
Holderness Coastline - Management
The Holderness Coastline in eastern England has some of the fastest erosion rates in Europe, averaging around 2 meters per year. The geology of the area, consisting of soft glacial till deposited over 12,000 years ago, is highly erodible and is being rapidly worn away by the sea. The village of Mappleton provides a case study of coastal management efforts, where rock groynes were constructed in 1991 to reduce erosion, but have shifted the erosion problem further south. Spurn Point at the southern end of the coastline consists of material deposited by longshore drift and acts as a barrier, though its position is now fixed through artificial defenses.
Dorset coast
The document describes land use conflicts and solutions at Lulworth Cove in Dorset, England. It identifies various land users in the area, including tourists, the military, environmental groups, and local residents. Increased tourism has led to issues like traffic congestion, noise, litter, and erosion. Solutions that have been implemented include improving footpaths, limiting development, and coordinating with the military to improve access. However, some solutions like resurfacing parking areas have also introduced new problems. Effective management of competing interests in the coastal zone remains an ongoing challenge.

Montserrat
The Soufrière Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat erupted in 1995 due to its location on a destructive plate boundary, where the Atlantic oceanic plate is subducting under the Caribbean continental plate. As magma rose from the subducting plate it formed the composite Soufrière Hills volcano. In June 1997, the volcano's dome collapsed, sending pyroclastic flows down the mountain that engulfed villages, killing 19 people. The eruption destroyed homes and infrastructure across the southern half of the island.

Coastal management integrated and sustainable management
The Holderness Coast in northeast England is eroding rapidly due to its soft geology, large fetch exposure to North Sea storms, and coastal processes. Hard engineering can protect assets but is expensive and impacts the environment, while soft engineering uses natural defenses but requires maintenance. Coastal management plans take an integrated approach, using hard structures to hold the line in developed areas and managed retreat in others to allow creation of protective salt marshes. Sustainable approaches also use natural habitats but require abandoned land and may be unpopular.
Causes of the River Derwent Flood, 2009
The 2009 flood in the River Derwent, Cumbria was caused by both physical and human factors. Physically, warm moist air dropped over 400mm of rain in 24 hours, breaking the UK record, which was too much for the ground to absorb. This caused overflow that rapidly filled streams and rivers like the Derwent and Cocker. At their confluence, high discharges combined to cause flooding in Workington. Human factors were urbanization increasing impermeable surfaces and faster water flow into rivers, and blocked or inadequate sewers in towns like Cockermouth and Keswick that caused flooding.
Coastal Management Holderness Ap
There are several factors that determine whether a stretch of coastline is protected from erosion or not. Hard engineering approaches like groynes, sea walls, gabions, revetments, and rock armor are expensive options to prevent erosion but may not be aesthetically pleasing. Softer engineering techniques like beach nourishment, stabilizing sand dunes, and managed retreat are generally less expensive and more sustainable as they work with natural coastal processes. The Holderness Coast in England is an example of an eroding coastline where various hard and soft engineering strategies have been used to protect vulnerable areas from erosion over the past few centuries.
Volcanic Eruption Montserratsc
The volcanic eruption on Montserrat from 1995-1997 was devastating for the island. Montserrat is a small Caribbean island that was heavily reliant on tourism and farming. In 1995, the previously dormant volcano erupted without warning. Over the next two years, repeated eruptions destroyed over 2/3 of the island, including the capital city of Plymouth. The eruptions forced over half the population to evacuate and caused widespread destruction of homes, farmland, infrastructure, and the local economy. The long term impacts included a decline in population from 11,000 to 4,000 as many people did not return after the eruptions ceased.
Sediment Cells And Sources
This document discusses sediment cells and sources along coastlines. It defines sediment cells as discrete areas where sediment movement is largely self-contained. Sediment can come from erosion of cliffs, sea beds, and rivers being transported by waves, currents, tides and wind. Sediment is either stored in depositional landforms like beaches or transported through the cell. The UK has 11 major sediment cells that operate in a state of dynamic equilibrium. Coastal processes like hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition, and corrosion cause different rates and types of erosion along coastlines. Mass movement processes also influence erosion, including soil creep, solifluction, and mudflows.

Sri Lanka has over 1,500 km of coastline containing diverse coastal habitats. Increasing population growth and development have degraded coastal environments through issues like coastal erosion, loss of habitats, pollution, and damage to cultural sites. Sri Lanka enacted the Coast Conservation Act in 1981 to regulate development and established the Coast Conservation Department. The Act and subsequent Coastal Zone Management Plan set targets to address key issues through management of erosion, habitats, pollution and special coastal areas while supporting sustainable development. Sri Lanka's coastal program is strengthened by its strong legal framework, leadership, political support and adaptive incremental approach.
Coastal management london 2011
This document summarizes coastal management issues in Sri Lanka. It discusses Sri Lanka's coastal policy framework and legislation. Some key issues facing Sri Lanka's coasts are coastal erosion, loss and degradation of coastal habitats like mangroves and coral reefs, and coastal pollution. Coastal erosion is a severe problem, with an estimated 175,000-285,000 square meters of coastal land lost each year. Major causes include natural processes and human activities like sand and coral mining. Rapid development has also degraded coastal ecosystems and archaeological sites.
Coastal Management
The document discusses coastal erosion issues in Happisburgh, England. It notes that over 250m of land was lost between 1600-1850, and 125m was lost between 1992-2007 at a rate of around 8m/year. The cliffs are comprised of glacial sands and clays that are easily eroded by the sea and saturated by rainwater. Coastal defenses could worsen the situation by disrupting sediment flows, while rising seas and stronger storms from climate change also increase erosion risks. The rapid erosion is negatively impacting the local community and environment through lost homes and infrastructure as well as valuable farmland.
Coastal Defense Management : A Group Report
This document discusses indicators for assessing eco-innovative coastal defense systems in the North Sea region. It first defines coastal erosion and flooding, noting these are increasing problems affecting countries like Denmark, the Netherlands, and the UK. Current coastal defenses are described as under threat from rising sea levels. The document then discusses developing innovative, eco-friendly coastal defenses and outlines a framework for indicators to evaluate these systems, focusing on sustainability.
Example model answers for OCR B Geography GCSE
This document summarizes coastal erosion and management strategies in two locations in the UK - Highcliffe and Barton-on-Sea. At Highcliffe, erosion was causing damage to properties at a rate of 2 meters per year, so hard and soft engineering methods were used to hold the line, including rock armor, drainage systems, and cliff reshaping. These strategies are costly but protect valuable homes. In contrast, Barton-on-Sea uses managed retreat, allowing erosion and eventual formation of a protective platform. While initially losing land, this strategy is more environmentally sustainable in the long run by not disrupting sediment transport.

Population Revision
The document provides information about world population growth and changes, using examples from Malawi as an LEDC country and Germany as an MEDC country. It discusses factors that influence birth rates, such as education levels, infant mortality rates, and cost of living. Malawi has a high population growth rate of 2.4% due to high infant mortality and reliance on children for labor and support. Germany has a low birth rate of 8.18/1000 and decreasing population due to costs of raising children, focus on careers, and good healthcare lowering infant mortality. The aging population in Germany may cause problems with fewer workers and increased healthcare and pension costs.
Global Warming Revision
Global warming is causing both positive and negative impacts for the UK. Potential positive impacts include longer growing seasons and the ability to grow new crops in southern parts of the country. However, negative impacts outweigh the positives, such as many coastal areas being flooded by rising sea levels, loss of farmland and natural areas, and increased extreme weather events. International agreements like the Kyoto Protocol have aimed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate global warming, but signing and enforcement among countries has been a challenge.
Oxford Revision
London implemented transportation measures to reduce traffic in the city center, including adding 700 parking spaces on the outskirts, new bus lanes and priority, cycle routes from suburbs, and increasing pedestrian-only zones in the central business district by closing some streets to all except bus traffic.

Barton Revision
Barton-on-Sea is a tourist resort town located on the southeast coast of England that is experiencing high rates of coastal erosion due to its location along Christchurch Bay. This erosion threatens nearby houses, hotels, holiday parks, and roads located close to the cliff edge. The town has undertaken coastal management efforts to protect Barton from the effects of erosion.
Ledc Cities Rapid Growth
Rapid population growth is causing issues in cities in LEDCs. Towns and cities are growing due to high birth rates, low death rates, and migration from rural areas. Migration to cities is driven by push factors like lack of jobs and food in rural areas, and pull factors like better jobs and services in cities. This rapid urban growth is straining cities through increased pollution, lack of affordable housing like overcrowded favelas, and insufficient employment opportunities. Solutions proposed include low-cost housing schemes, self-help housing projects, and new planned towns to relieve population pressure.
Mozambique Floods 2000
Mozambique experienced catastrophic flooding in 2000 due to continuous heavy rainfall over 5 weeks that was exacerbated by a hurricane, totaling over 1,163mm of rain compared to the average of 177mm. The floods killed many thousands of people, left 1 million homeless, and caused huge economic losses. Disease and malnutrition spread due to a lack of clean water, food, and medical supplies after infrastructure like bridges and roads were destroyed. Flood risk is managed through limited monitoring, but the country cannot afford major prevention schemes due to poverty. International aid helped rescue and supply refugee camps, though conditions remained poor.
Montserrat[1]
Montserrat is a small Caribbean island where a volcanic eruption has devastated the southern region since 1995. The eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano has forced over half of the island's population to evacuate as the volcano remains active. The eruption is caused by subduction of tectonic plates under Montserrat and has destroyed infrastructure like roads, ports, and airports while covering the landscape in ash. The British government has provided aid to resettle displaced residents but responses have been complicated by the ongoing risks from the still-active volcano.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
