A holistic model for coastal flooding using system diagrams and the Source–Pathway–Receptor (SPR) concept [PDF]
, 2012 Coastal flooding is a problem of increasing relevance in low-lying coastal regions worldwide. In addition to the anticipated increase in likelihood and magnitude of coastal floods due to climate change, there is rapid growth in coastal assets and ...

Carbon degradation in agricultural soils flooded with seawater after managed coastal realignment [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Permanent flooding of low-lying coastal areas is a growing threat due to climate change and related sea-level rise. An increasingly common solution to protect coastal areas lying below sea level is intentional flooding by "managed coastal realignment".

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

Present and future flooding and erosion along the NW Spanish Mediterranean Coast
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Coastal flooding and eros-ion caused by extreme events are the main factors responsible for beach hazards. This effect will be exacerbated by the sea level rise induced by climate change.

Hazard assessment and hydrodynamic, morphodynamic, and hydrological response to Hurricane Gamma and Hurricane Delta on the northern Yucatán Peninsula [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Barrier islands in tropical regions are prone to coastal flooding and erosion during hurricane events. The Yucatán coast, characterized by karstic geology and the presence of barrier islands, was impacted by Hurricane Gamma and Hurricane Delta in October

Doubling of coastal flooding frequency within decades due to sea-level rise
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,
