This paper deals with natural and human causes giving rise to the coastal erosion of the Cilento shoreline. It is predictable that, in 2100, along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea a sea level rise varying between 9 and 30 cm will be attained. This increase will cause also a marked rise in the coastal erosion of beaches and rocky coasts of the studied area. The current state of knowledge about erosion processes affecting beaches and cliffs of the Cilento shoreline was shown. Finally, a hazard zonation of potential beach erosions and landslides also was proposed.

Abstract
This paper deals with natural and human causes giving rise to the coastal erosion of the Cilento shoreline. It is predictable that, in 2100, along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea a sea level rise varying between 9 and 30 cm will be attained. This increase will cause also a marked rise in the coastal erosion of beaches and rocky coasts of the studied area. The current state of knowledge about erosion processes affecting beaches and cliffs of the Cilento shoreline was shown. Finally, a hazard zonation of potential beach erosions and landslides also was proposed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
