Preliminary Investigations of Erosional and Accretional Hotspots along the Ghanaian Coast
2010
Apostos, Alex
The long-term goals associated with this project are to develop a better understanding of the processes that dominate local coastal geomorphological change in Ghana, to enhance the transfer of technology and scientific knowledge necessary for the University of Ghana to further develop the capabilities to predict, manage, and mitigate hazards along the Ghanaian coastal zone, and to help the Ghanaians establish a self-sustaining coastal processes program. A better understanding of the processes driving coastal erosion in Ghana can then be extended to help mitigate similar problems along the entire West African coast, which could lead to better maritime governance and increased social stability in the region.
