    Pan-European map visualization, at a range of scales, indicating lower, intermediate, and higher levels of coastline resilience and vulnerability. The resilience of a system is defined as its ability to withstand and recover from a major disruption, whereas vulnerability is a measure of the susceptibility of a system to change. Higher resilience reduces susceptibility and thus vulnerability to change. Higher levels of resilience/lower levels of vulnerability are shown in light blue, intermediate levels in mid-blue and lower levels of resilience/higher levels of vulnerability in dark blue. The dataset is constructed by Edge Hill University with data provided by partners of EMODnet Geology. For the purpose of visualization, the dataset is built from the coastline as a line representation at the highest zoom levels, towards points showing averages of the resilience/vulnerability of the coastline underneath. This approach gives a good overview of regional differences in resilience/vulnerability. The current version was finalized in July 2024. Full paper link: https://doi.org/10.1144/qjegh2024-119

    Pan-European coastline-migration map at zoomable scale. The map is collated and harmonized from field-monitoring data and aerial photography provided by partners of EMODnet Geology. Where no such coastline-migration data were available, information from the EUROSION project is provided. For remaining gaps, please consult the coastline-migration map based on satellite data. The main attributes denote degree of landward (by erosion or submergence) or seaward (by accretion or emergence) change. In the visualization provided, three classes are distinguished: landward migration, stable coastline, seaward migration. The criterion for stable coastlines is ≤0.5 meter net change per year over a 10-year period. The current version was finalized in January 2021.

    Pan-European map of morphological and lithological coastal type at zoomable scale. The map is collated and harmonised from geological maps provided by partners of EMODnet Geology. Where no such data were available, information from the EUROSION project is provided. The main attributes denote several types of rocky coast, beach, inshore area and artificial coast. The current version was finalised in May 2021.
