title: Coastal Erosion of the Sea of Azov in 2000–2025: Dynamics and Hydrometeorological Factors
abstract: We investigated the impacts of a rapidly changing hydrometeorological regime on coastal erosion in the shallow, seasonally freezing Sea of Azov from 2000 to 2025. Our comparative approach integrated numerical modeling (SWAN), satellite remote sensing, and long-term field observations at two high-erosion sites: the Northern Site in Taganrog Bay and the Southern Site at the open sea boundary. The results demonstrate that coastal erosion is governed by complex, site-specific interactions rather tha
