Modelling NBSs for coastal erosion and marine flooding: the Emilia-Romagna case studies
<p>The study was conducted in the context of the OPEn-air laboRAtories for Nature baseD solUtions to Manage environmental risks (OPERANDUM) project which is an H2020 project which aims at providing tools and methodologies for the assessment of NBS efficiency around the world. Two NBs were tested via modelling simulations on the Bellocchio Beach at Lido di Spina (Italy) located in the northern part of the Emilia-Romagna coast (northern Adriatic Sea): an artificial dune built with natural materials and a marine seagrass meadow.</p> <p>The artificial dune is an engineered structure that will mimic the functioning of natural dunes. Its aims are reducing both natural dune erosion and flooding in adjacent coastal lowlands. It consists of a barrier between the sea and land, in a similar way to a seawall. Unlike the latter, the NBS are ‘dynamic’, i.e. the dune/beach system interacts a great deal and is constantly undergoing small adjustments in response to changes in wind and wave climate or sea level. Its construction involves the placement of sediment from dredged sources on the beach and it will be reinforced with a structure composed of biodegradable material. Different typologies of experimental solutions are foreseen.</p> <p>The second NBS consists of an alongshore seagrass belt located in front of the coastal area. It was investigated as a potential mechanism for wave amplitude reduction. Among the few species that can live in the northern Adriatic Sea, Zostera Marina was chosen due to its ability to live in a marine environment influenced by freshwaters. A more detailed description can be found in (Pillai et al., 2021).</p> <p>The numerical model chain, specifically developed for the study, consists of an Ocean Circulation model, so-called SHYFEM (Umgiesser et al., 2004), a wave model, so-called WWIII (Alves and Ardhuin, 2016), and a morphological model, so-called XBeach (Roelvink et al., 2009). Ten years of XBeach simulations have been executed to simulate the morphological impacts on the coastal strip for the present (2010-19) and future climate (2040-49). For each 10 years period, four scenarios were simulated: the baseline scenario without NBS (baseline_run), the scenario with the dune (dune_run), the scenario with the seagrass effect (seagrass_run) and the scenario with the two NBS integration (dune_seagrass_run).XBeach was forced with sea level and wave time series predicted by the SHYFEM and WWIII models respectively.</p> <p>The model domain consists in a curvilinear structured grid of about 3.2 km (longshore) x 2.8 km (cross-shore) covering the coastal stretch of Bellocchio beach at Lido di Spina (Italy) and extends seaward up to about 10 m depth.</p> <p>The performance of the NBSs and their impact on coastal erosion and marine flooding were investigated. For both present and future scenarios (201-2019 and 2040-2049), the reduction in wave intensity obtained with the seagrass provided greater benefits in terms of erosion mitigation and flood reduction. The analysis highlighted the limited scale of the dune intervention, in particular under present conditions, highlighting that the longer the artificial dune implemented, the larger the beach and dune area protected. For the future scenarios, the results are still significant and even small projects are expected to help in mitigating coastal erosion and marine flooding.</p> <p>For long-period simulations, no relevant improvements in reducing beach erosion was observed when the artificial dune was combined with the seagrass meadows with respect to the seagrass effects only. Instead, a dominant increase in sea levels will probably highlight the dune functions in hindering the marine ingression into the lagoon area behind and the consequent sediment redistribution.</p> <p>This dataset consists of XBeach model results, mainly:</p> <ul> <li>Morphological evolution of the coastal bottom at Bellocchio beach (Lido di Spina, Italy) in terms of initial and final bed levels, for the current (201-2019) and the future (2040-2049) scenarios.

Monitoring NBS for coastal erosion and marine flooding: the Emilia-Romagna case study
<p>The study was conducted in the context of the OPERANDUM project which is an H2020 project which aims at providing tools and methodologies for the assessment of NBS efficiency around the world. As NBS will be tested an artificial dune built with natural materials. </p> <p>The artificial dune is an engineered structure that will mimic the functioning of natural dunes. Its aims are reducing both natural dune erosion and flooding in adjacent coastal lowlands. It consists of a barrier between the sea and land, in a similar way to a seawall. Unlike the latter, the NBS are ‘dynamic’, i.e. the dune/beach system interacts a great deal and is constantly undergoing small adjustments in response to changes in wind and wave climate or sea level. Its construction involves the placement of sediment from dredged sources on the beach and it will be reinforced with a structure composed of biodegradable material. Different typologies of experimental solutions are foreseen.</p> <p>The Bellocchio Beach at Lido di Spina (Italy) was initially chosen for the study, however the Volano beach was selected as the new study area because of the strong erosion caused by an intense storm event in December 2020 at Bellocchio. The dune was built on the Volano beach and monitoring surveys were carried out on this new site. </p> <p>A morphological monitoring aimed to assess the beach evolution and the performance of the NBS were performed. Monitoring of morphology evolution of shoreline and inland area provide information about impact of the NBS on coastal erosion. Furthermore, the changes in the form of the work give information about the resistance of the NBS to wave attacks. Sedimentological campaigns have been planned in order to provide information regarding the texture of the sediments present in the area detected and possibly highlight changes after the construction of the dune.</p> <p>Three monitoring campaigns were carried out before, immediately after and six months later the construction of the dune (January, May and October 2022). All data were analysed to assess local coastal dynamics and NBS evolution. </p> <p>The monitoring consisted of: </p> <ul> <li> <p>topographic and bathymetric surveys (GNSS and multibeam/singlebeam echosounder) to generate DTMs of the entire area (10 m cell size); </p> </li> <li> <p>aerial photogrammetric surveys by UAV for the production of orthophotos and high resolutions DTMs of the emerged beach (1m cell size) and of the dune area (0.2 m cell size); </p> </li> <li> <p>sediment sampling and grain size analysis. </p> </li> </ul> <p>Surveys show that morphological and sedimentological changes are determined mostly by anthropic actions to the beach and seabed maintenance (artificial winter banks and Sacca di Goro channel). </p> <p>Regarding the dune area no significant changes in morphology were observed due to the limited period between the surveys. Appreciable signals were detected, such as the natural recolonization by pioneer plant species and the slight sand accumulation on the dune foot.</p> <p>This dataset consists of data related to monitoring activities. </p>
