Muscat metropolitan area holds the major urban masses and capital investments in Oman. The shoreline significantly varies in its geomorphology, slope, width, land use, and ecosystems. As tsunamis and tropical cyclones in the Indian Ocean are frequent, coastal inundation by sweater is inevitable and losses of lives, infrastructures, and ecosystems are expected. The current study attempts to assess the susceptibility of Muscat coast to the sudden sea level rise caused by tsunami waves and tropical cyclones using a weighted coastal sensitivity index (CSI). Data extraction and processing were carried out using remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). Results showed that the coast is highly vulnerable to flooding for about 101 km (40%). Demographic data analysis, unfortunately, reveals that at least 400,000 persons are under the direct influence of this natural hazard. On the other hand, low susceptible coastal segments account for 113 km (47%). The CSI provides an objective technique for the evaluation of coastal vulnerability to sea level rise.

评估沿海地区对非欣喜海平面上升的敏感性：以马斯喀特海岸—阿曼苏丹国为例

马斯喀特都会区拥有阿曼的主要城市群和资本投资。海岸线的地貌，坡度，宽度，土地利用和生态系统存在很大差异。随着印度洋海啸和热带气旋的频繁发生，毛衣不可避免地会淹没沿海地区，预计将造成生命，基础设施和生态系统的损失。当前的研究试图使用加权的海岸敏感性指数（CSI）评估马斯喀特海岸对海啸和热带气旋引起的海平面突然升高的敏感性。使用遥感和地理信息系统（GIS）进行数据提取和处理。结果表明，该海岸极易遭受洪水泛滥，长达约101公里（40％）。不幸的是，根据人口统计数据分析，至少有400 000人受到这种自然灾害的直接影响。另一方面，低敏感度沿海地区占113公里（47％）。CSI为评估沿海地区对海平面上升的脆弱性提供了一种客观的技术。
