This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the erosion at Nørlev Strand located on the Danish west coast. This location suffers from severe erosion; the result of a combined chronic, acute and, at least partially, man-induced erosion. The analysis is done by studying the average climatic conditions in the vicinity, and the effects of storms. Analysis shows an increase in the measured moderate to large wave events and consequent connection of the erosion problem to climate change. Other effects of climate change such as increase in rainfall were also considered and a surprisingly good correlation was found between coastal erosion in Nørlev and national storm records. Furthermore, a shift in mean wave direction has also been noted in the case of waves coming from the north. The significance that these changes can have in the sediment is assessed quantitatively through numerical modelling.

本文对位于丹麦西海岸的NørlevStrand的侵蚀进行了深入分析。该位置遭受严重侵蚀；慢性，急性以及至少部分是人为侵蚀的综合结果。通过研究附近的平均气候条件以及风暴的影响来进行分析。分析表明，测得的中至大波浪事件增加，因此侵蚀问题与气候变化有关。还考虑了气候变化的其他影响，例如降雨增加，并且在Nørlev的海岸侵蚀与国家风暴记录之间发现了令人惊讶的良好相关性。此外，在来自北方的海浪中，平均海浪方向也发生了变化。
