South Korean Coastal Hazards
Coastal Hazards
Although South Korean coastal hazards are linked to
other natural disasters ( such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis,
typhoons, landslides, flooding, sinkholes and climate change), the main coastal
hazards are focused on the rip current, coastal erosion, waves and any type
which is related with the water type ( including the ocean, beaches, waves, the
sea and
the coastal line). Coastal hazards are not huge disasters like other
natural disasters, but it still can be potentially dangerous because the other
natural disasters come from the coastal hazards. During my research, I found
that the coastal hazards in South Korea were mainly focused on coastal hazard
management and prevention. Coastal hazards is similar to the soil subsidence
due to many type elements (such as nature, Earth and life) and issues (such as
geography of the locations, and component element of the areas). The result is
that coastal hazards have minor impacts and can be visible dangers and the potential
disasters toward the people.
Other Information for
Coastal Hazards:
There are other websites/PDFs, such as Improving the Coastal Hazard Management in Indonesia: Lesson Learned from Other Countries.PDF (See first below image), Geophysical Research Abstracts.PDF , EBSCOhost: Assessment of Coastal Erosion (See second below three images) and EBSCOhost: Coastal Hazard Data (See last below image), which explain how
to assess coastal hazard damages, how to manage the issues of the coastal
hazards, and what has altered the environment and has been revealed by research
methods in South Korea.
Safety Precaution for
Coastal Hazards:
A Global website is National Weather Service.
National Weather Service
links are Weather: safety/rip current-surviving, Weather:
safety/rip
current-beach , Weather: safety/rip current-before and Weather: safety/rip current. This site explains how to
be safe before/during/after coastal hazards have occurred. See the images of
National Weather Service below.
Global/ Local Warning
Center:
Global warning centers include National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) [ Earth Observatory (NASA): Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly (See below first image) and Earth Observatory (NASA): Sea Surface Temperature ], and World Meteorological Organization [ World Meteorological Organization: Water ]. The only local website is called Korea Meteorological Administration [here is the link: KMA: Observation].

Hello Luis,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blog because it's very informative and elaborated on a lot of things I never knew about. Wow! I found out about how coastal hazards can be as minor but have a lot of dangerous issues. Overall, great entry!!!
Good Evening Luis,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! That is some extensive research and its pretty great that the country has a close eye on the hazard. Unlike my country of Haiti, where it seems the focus is far from the coastline. Continue to do good work.
