3 Contents 1. Introduction: Definition and Role of Coastal Ecosystems 2. Changes, impacts and risks in the Asia Pacific Area 3. Our role within this Research Group 4. Some cases studies (Mie, Japan) 5. Concluding remarks
4 The Coastal Zone and Coastal Ecosystems Modest surface of the globe: 26 millions km2 Sustained Land Ocean Atmosphere interactions Physical, biological and biogeochemical interactions Important role in the global flow of matter and energy
5 Coastal Ecosystems Estuaries, wetlands, intertidal flats, Mangrove and swamp forests Lagoons, salt ponds, rocks and sand beaches Seagrass, coral reefs, continental shelf
6 Sustainable land ocean atmospheric flow of matter and energy 1. Biochemical cycle of all land driven material entering the sea 2. Most of geochemical & biological activities in the biosphere 15% of oceanic primary production 80% of organic matter burial 90% of sedimentary mineralization 3. 40% of World ecosystem service value and natural capital 4. Human population (40% within 100 km) and human activities
7 Ever increasing human population and man made transformations (Cape Town, South Africa) 40% of world population living within 100 km from the ocean coasts Deep changes to the shape, contents and functions of the ecosystem Scenic shoreline cities, ports, resort beaches, land reclamation, etc
8 Major Coastal Ecosystems in the World Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005).
9 Contents 1. Introduction: Definition and Role of Coastal Ecosystems 2. Changes, impacts and risks in the Asia Pacific Area Sea level rise due to Global Warming Floods due to typhoons, storms and tsunamis Land claim, urbanization and coastal development Upland activities involving land cover change A combination of any of these elements 3. Our role within this Research Group 4. Some cases studies (Mie, Japan) 5. Concluding remarks
10 (IPCC 2007, WG II)
11 (IPCC 2007, WG I)
12 (IPCC 2007, WG I)
13 Vulnerability of Coastal Deltas to Sea level Rise (IPCC 2007, WG II)
14 Indian Ocean Tsunami and its aftermath Dec 2004: Tsunami devastated the region of Banda Aceh
15 Climate Change and Extreme Weathers Frequent Typhoons, Severe Storms, Floods and Water Disasters
16 Impact of flooding in Phnom Penh, Cambodia These images show the extent of flooding and extensive ditches and canals used for irrigation 2000: Taken during the period of flooding 2001: Taken after the flood waters had receded
17 Water Disaster due to Typhoons and Heavy Rains Floods in the Nagoya Area, September 2000
18 Replacement of mangroves by aquaculture in Thon Buri, Thailand : Area is caught in the battle between needs of people versus the welfare of the coastal areas 2002: Shows extensive aquaculture ponds (blue patches inland)
19 Mangrove Forests Destruction for Shrimp Ponds (Samut Songkram, Thailand) Abandoned Shrimp Ponds now used for salt production
20
21 Land reclamation changes along Isahaya Bay, Japan 1993: Turning tidal lands into farmlands 2001: The straight line of the sea wall is visible 2003: The area has been fully reclaimed from the sea
22 Dramatic changes in Huang He Delta, China Images show the mouth of the Yellow River and the emergence of a huge parrot headed peninsula : Huang He s yellow color is the result of huge loads of sediments
23 Changes in Huang He Delta, China From 1989 to 1995 the Yellow River delta area grew From 1995 to 2000 the Yellow River delta area shrank Credit: NASA Earth Observatory
24 Changes due to construction of Three Gorges Dam, China 1987: Nature of the river and surrounding landscape before the dam 2004: The enormous dam is clearly visible
25 Land Cover Changes Upland Natural Climatic change and extreme weathers Land development by human activities Heat Waves and Forests Fires, Deforestation Desertification, Drought and Famine
26 Contents 1. Introduction: Definition and Role of Coastal Ecosystems 2. Changes, impacts and risks in the Asia Pacific Area 3. Our role within this Research Group GIS (Geographical Information Systems) Remote Sensing Technology and Data Simulation and Prediction scenarios Decision Support Systems: prevention, mitigation, preparedness 4. Some cases studies (Mie, Japan) 5. Concluding remarks
27 Why GIS and Why Remote Sensing? Remote Sensing: allows to grasp the state of, or the change in, the ecosystem over a broad area within a sequence of temporal scenes (qualitatively) GIS (Geographic Information Systems) makes it possible: to query for features or location of specific state or changes to quantitatively measure the state or changes to simulate and predict changes to create quantitative scenarios for sound Decision Making, based on single or multi criteria analysis

41 Vulnerability of the Refuge sites - 11 out the 25 sites will be under waters! -Only a few sites are safely above the wave level (m)
42 Preparedness, Awareness and Mitigation Strategy Truly safe: 3 sites Relatively Safe: 11 sites Dangerous: 5 sites Not safe : 6 sites People have to instructed to run for safety to the TRULY SAFE SITES in case of Tsumani!
43 Preparedness, Awareness and Mitigation Strategy % of the population live in the high risk area % of those who did not run for safety live in the high risk area % of those who ran for safety are from the high risk area % of people living in the high risk area did not run for safety - Most of those who run went to wrong and unsafe sites!
