| abstracts | In this study, vulnerability to erosion of a coastline in vicinity of Calypsobyen, Bellsund (Spitsbergen, Svalbard) is assessed using an
extended Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI), further named Polar Coastline Risk Index (PCRI). An additional parameter is introduced to
properly describe coastal erosion in polar regions, namely the duration of open from ice-cover water season (OWS). Information from
the Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment (DIVA) database and additional geomorphological data are analysed to derive the
extended CVI. Satellite images available from the application of the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological
Satellites (EUMETSAT) are to retrieve OWS and information about glaciers in coastline. The proposed extended CVI constitutes a
promising approach to the problem of coastal erosion in polar regions |
