Figure 2

Projections of the European mean potential shoreline retreat (a, b, e, f) and European total coastal land loss (c, d, g, h) under the RCP 4.5 (blue colors) and RCP 8.5 (red colors), relative to the baseline year 2010 (in the absence of ambient shoreline changes), for the four different geophysical data (sandy beach location and nearshore slope) combinations: (a, c) EUROSION and 1:100 slope, (b, d) EUROSION and SVNS, (e, g) SDSB and 1:100 slope and (f, h) SDSB and SVNS. The solid lines are the projected potential shoreline retreat/coastal land loss under the median SLR projections, while the shaded areas indicate the 5% and 95% confidence intervals.
