Future Changes in Built Environment Risk to Coastal Flooding, Permanent Inundation and Coastal Erosion Hazards

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.

Compounding Effects of Fluvial Flooding and Storm Tides on Coastal Flooding Risk in the Coastal-Estuarine Region of Southeastern China

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 TanDEM-X Global DEM to Map Coastal Flooding Exposure under Sea-Level Rise: Application to Guinea-Bissau

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2022
The increased exposure to coastal flooding in low-lying coastal areas is one of the consequences of sea-level rise (SLR) induced by climate changes. The coastal zone of Guinea-Bissau contains significant areas of low elevation and is home to most of the ...

An integrated approach for physical, economic, and demographic evaluation of coastal flood hazard adaptation in Santa Monica Bay, California

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The increased risk of coastal flooding associated with climate-change driven sea level rise threatens to displace communities and cause substantial damage to infrastructure.

Quantifying Tidal Phase Effects on Coastal Flooding Induced by Hurricane Sandy in Manhattan, New York Using a Micro-Scale Hydrodynamic Model

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020
This study investigates the effects of tidal phase on coastal flooding in New York City during Hurricane Sandy. A micro-scale hydrodynamic model is developed for Manhattan – the most densely populated borough of New York City – to accurately simulate ...

Integrated Inundation Modeling of Flooded Water in Coastal Cities

Applied Sciences, 2019
Climate change has increased the damage caused by subtropical rainfall and typhoons in coastal areas. Major flooding factors in coastal areas can be classified as storm surges, river inundation, and inland submergence.

Cartographie prospective d’évolution du trait de côte et des risques de submersion dans le contexte du changement climatique : une méthode appliquée au littoral du nord de la France

VertigO, 2022
Because climate change will likely have major impacts in low-lying coastal areas, our ability for evaluating predictable consequences of coastal hazards in the future already represents a key issue in coastal risk reduction.

Simulation of extreme compound coastal flooding in Shanghai

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2019
Estuary deltas and coastal cities are facing with the rising risk of the compound flooding due to the coincidence of storm surge,extreme precipitation,high tide and high river discharge. A new integrated numerical modeling system,which coupled atmosphere,
