What is River Dams and Coastal Erosion Impact about?

This document summarizes a paper that presents a new global sand pathway model to investigate how terrestrial sand supply and coastal redistribution drive coastline evolution worldwide. The model finds that river dams have significantly reduced sand supply, contributing to observed coastal erosion. It also reveals that wave-driven sand transport tends to accumulate sand in tropical regions, where converging coastal cells meet. This challenges the idea that sea level rise alone is the main driver of erosion,
