Coastal flooding will disproportionately impact people on river deltas. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 Climate change is intensifying tropical cyclones, accelerating sea-level rise, and increasing coastal flooding. River deltas are especially vulnerable to flooding because of their low elevations and densely populated cities.

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 ...

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 ...

Regional assessment of extreme sea levels and associated coastal flooding along the German Baltic Sea coast [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Among the Baltic Sea littoral states, Germany is anticipated to endure considerable damage as a result of increased coastal flooding due to sea-level rise (SLR). Consequently, there is a growing demand for flood risk assessments, particularly at regional

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.

More meteorological events that drive compound coastal flooding are projected under climate change. [PDF]
Commun Earth Environ, 2020 Compound flooding arises from storms causing concurrent extreme meteorological tides (that is the superposition of storm surge and waves) and precipitation. This flooding can severely affect densely populated low-lying coastal areas.

Coral Reef Restorations Can Be Optimized to Reduce Coastal Flooding Hazards
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Coral reefs are effective natural coastal flood barriers that protect adjacent communities. Coral degradation compromises the coastal protection value of reefs while also reducing their other ecosystem services, making them a target for restoration. Here

A user-friendly database of coastal flooding in the United Kingdom from 1915-2014. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2015 Coastal flooding caused by extreme sea levels can be devastating, with long-lasting and diverse consequences. Historically, the UK has suffered major flooding events, and at present 2.5 million properties and £150 billion of assets are potentially ...
