“…Since the driving factors (natural and anthropogenic) discussed are common in world-wide urbanized strandplains, the northern Tuscany littoral cell can be considered as a case history. As a matter of fact, this aspect has been separately addressed in many recent morphodynamic [98][99][100][101], geomorphological [102][103][104][105], and geological [106][107][108] studies, but never with integration of the three perspectives. We believe that a multidisciplinary space-time approach constitutes a valuable method to improve the knowledge of the present-day coastal situation, providing a general framework useful to (a) elaborate more reliable coastal evolution scenarios and (b) acquire, from both a geological and historical perspective, analog models of coastline changes under natural and anthropogenic driving factors.…”

A multidisciplinary approach to coastal process research has been increasingly encouraged in the last decade, and it is now widely accepted for a thorough, in-depth analysis of any issue related to such an environment. In this study, we emphasized the need for the integration of different time-scales, not just disciplines. Many geological datasets provided by several sources contribute to the knowledge of coastal processes. We retrieved the available datasets about morphodynamic, geomorphological, and geological aspects of the northern Tuscany (Italy) littoral cell, and we merged all of them with QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System) applications to provide an assessment of the current situation starting from a geological perspective. Data processing resulted in maps and stratigraphic sections that confirmed that sediment supply is the main factor driving the evolution of the littoral cell. Such a perspective is also useful for the development of reliable coastal evolution future scenarios, not just for a better definition of the present situation. As these datasets are now available for many sectors of coast around the world, this approach may be easily replicated elsewhere to improve coastal management policy making.
