COastal zone Simulation MOdel (COSMO) : Manual

COSMO demonstrates the main steps in the preparation, analysis and evaluation of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) plans. The model helps in the formulation of alternative plans for development projects and for environmental and coastal protection measures. As a particular features, COSMO facilites the analysis of impacts of present-day actions on a region's long term vulnerability for a possible acclerated rise in sea level due to climate change.
