Abstract: We propose a methodology for the study of erosion and flooding impacts in a climate change scenario that accounts for: (1) the stochastic character of climate and its variability at different time scales; (2) the joint effect on the coast of maritime and fluvial events; (3) the presence of infrastructures that interfere with the hydrodynamic and sedimentary processes, such as dams in the river course, harbors, breakwaters and promenades; (4) the availability of sediment, its 3D spatial layout, as well as its granulometry and degree of consolidation. The methodology has been implemented all along the almost 1000 km of the Andalusian coast. Results are characterized in terms of probability for different time horizons and, when applicable, for two touristic seasons.
