title: Synergistic Forcing and Extreme Coastal Abrasion in the Sea of Azov: A Multi-Source Geospatial Assessment
abstract: Coastal erosion poses a significant threat to global shorelines, exacerbated by anthropogenic pressures and climate change. The Sea of Azov, a shallow, semi-enclosed basin with coastlines composed of weakly consolidated sediments, represents a highly vulnerable and understudied hotspot for abrasion processes. This study provides a comprehensive, multi-decadal assessment of coastal retreat rates for the Sea of Azov by synergistically integrating long-term field observations with a multi-temporal
