Climate Change Adaptation and Natural Disasters Preparedness in the Coastal Cities of North Africa
| The eoworld project conducted in the framework of the World Bank study on “Climate Change Adaptation and Natural Disasters Preparedness in the Coastal Cities of North Africa” aimed to identify and assess natural risks and vulnerabilities in Alexandria and Tunis. The contribution of EO data was primarily focusing on terrain deformation mapping to provide precise indications on the location of subsidence and uplift zones in support to surveys concerning land stability and seismic issues. The study analyzed potential ground movements in both cities between 1993-2000 and 2003–2009. |
