ABSTRACT Olsen, W.S.; Figueiredo, S.A.; Albuquerque, M.G., and Calliari, L.J., 2018. The Role of Local Geomorphology Influencing Coastal Response to Sea Level Rise. In: Shim, J.-S.; Chun, I., and Lim, H.S. (eds.), Proceedings from the International Coastal Symposium (ICS) 2018 (Busan, Republic of Korea). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 85, pp. 311–315. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Considering projected climate change scenarios with accelerated rates of mean sea level rise, Cassino Beach in Southern Brazil, a wave dominated low-gradient coastal plain, is inherently at a very high risk in relation to its impacts. Additionally, the presence of small-scale creeks (washouts) can increase coastal susceptibility to erosion in two ways: (i) changing substrate morphology by lowering foredune height; (ii) displacing sediments causing a local deficit. In order to compare coastal response under sea level rise in the presence of a washout versus at well-established foredune, two independent ...
