Doubling of coastal flooding frequency within decades due to sea-level rise [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Global climate change drives sea-level rise, increasing the frequency of coastal flooding. In most coastal regions, the amount of sea-level rise occurring over years to decades is significantly smaller than normal ocean-level fluctuations caused by tides,

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Sea-level rise will cause erosion of land, deeper and increasingly frequent flooding and will eventually permanently inundate low-elevation land, forcing the adaptation of seaside communities to avoid or reduce risk.

Atmosphere, 2022 In coastal areas of southeastern China, multiple flood drivers such as river flow, precipitation and coastal water level can lead to compound flooding which is often much greater than flooding simulated by one flood driver in isolation.

Using remarkability to define coastal flooding thresholds. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 AbstractCoastal flooding is increasingly common in many areas. However, the degree of inundation and associated disruption depend on local topography as well as the distribution of people, infrastructure and economic activity along the coast. Local measures of flooding that are comparable over large areas are difficult to obtain.

Mediterranean UNESCO World Heritage at risk from coastal flooding and erosion due to sea-level rise [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 UNESCO World Heritage located in low-lying coastal areas is increasingly at risk from flooding and erosion due to sea-level rise. This study shows that up to 82% of cultural World Heritage sites located in the Mediterranean will be at risk from coastal ...

The potential for coral reef restoration to mitigate coastal flooding as sea levels rise. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 The capacity of coral reefs to keep pace with sea-level rise is central to their ability to continue to provide shoreline protection to vulnerable coastal communities.

Venice as a paradigm of coastal flooding under multiple compound drivers. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Full comprehension of the dynamics of hazardous sea levels is indispensable for assessing and managing coastal flood risk, especially under a changing climate. The 12 November 2019 devastating flood in the historical city of Venice (Italy) stimulated new

Benefits of subsidence control for coastal flooding in China. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2022 Land subsidence is impacting large populations in coastal Asia via relative sea-level rise (RSLR). Here we assesses these risks and possible response strategies for China, including estimates of present rates of RSLR, flood exposure and risk to 2050.

Assessing population exposure to coastal flooding due to sea level rise. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 The exposure of populations to sea-level rise (SLR) is a leading indicator assessing the impact of future climate change on coastal regions. SLR exposes coastal populations to a spectrum of impacts with broad spatial and temporal heterogeneity, but ...

Projections of global-scale extreme sea levels and resulting episodic coastal flooding over the 21st Century. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Global models of tide, storm surge, and wave setup are used to obtain projections of episodic coastal flooding over the coming century. The models are extensively validated against tide gauge data and the impact of uncertainties and assumptions on ...
