  abstract = {{A}lthough there are numerous case studies assessing coastal vulnerability, many of these studies have been performed in places where notable efforts have been carried out to provide informa-tion on the different variables that affect the coast. {H}owever, this is not the case for most places worldwide given the lack of long-term datasets. {T}his study makes use of information from satel-lite remote sensing and analytical models to derive two vulnerability indices along a 9.5 km stretch of the coast of {L}angue de {B}arbarie, {S}aint {L}ouis, {S}enegal ({W}estern {A}frica). {T}he first is a coastal vulnerability index ({CVI}) to sea level rise due to climate change and results in a five -category classification: {V}ery {L}ow, {L}ow, {M}oderate, {H}igh, and {V}ery {H}igh. {T}he second is a flood vul-nerability index ({FVI}) to coastal flooding due to extreme events and results in a three-category classification: {L}ow, {M}oderate, and {H}igh. {R}esults for the {CVI} index show that 70% of the coast pre-sents {H}igh and {V}ery {H}igh vulnerability values, largely located in the most densely populated ar-eas. {T}he {FVI} is assessed for one of the most energetic storms for the 1979-2021 period which oc-curred in {F}ebruary 2018 using a beach configuration of {M}arch 2021. {R}esults show that 29% of the coastline presents {H}igh {FVI} values (i.e., are likely to be overtopped) concentrated in the cen-tral sector of the most-populated districts. {T}his provides relevant tools to improve coastal man-agement when in situ data are not available.},
