Global-scale analysis of socioeconomic impacts of coastal flooding over the 21st century

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Building on a global database of projected extreme coastal flooding over the coming century, an extensive analysis that accounts for both existing levels of coastal defences (structural measures) and two scenarios for future changes in defence levels is ...

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.

Enabling dynamic modelling of coastal flooding by defining storm tide hydrographs

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023
. Coastal flooding is driven by the combination of (high) tide and storm surge, the latter being caused by strong winds and low pressure in tropical and extratropical cyclones.

Future socioeconomic development along the West African coast forms a larger hazard than sea level rise

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
Sea level rise will exacerbate the vulnerability of low-lying coastal regions around the world in the coming decades, posing a severe threat to coastal populations.

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 ...

Australian Coastal Flooding Trends and Forcing Factors

Earth's Future, 2022
Using the new Australian National Collection of Homogenized Observations of Relative Sea Level (ANCHORS) dataset, we assess trends in Australian relative sea levels over recent decades and subsequent coastal flooding impacts.

Characterizing multivariate coastal flooding events in a semi-arid region: the implications of copula choice, sampling, and infrastructure

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022
. Multivariate coastal flooding is characterized by multiple flooding pathways (i.e., high offshore water levels, streamflow, energetic waves, precipitation) acting concurrently.

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.

The Integration of Coastal Flooding into an ArcFLOOD Data Model [PDF]

, 2014
With the impact of global climate change, the speedy, intelligent and accessible dissemination of coastal flood predictions from a number of modelling tools at a range of temporal and spatial scales becomes increasingly important for policy decision ...
