PLoS ONE, 2015 Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its related effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and exhibit higher rates of population growth and urbanisation. As this trend

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".

Coastal Flood Modeling Challenges in Defended Urban Backshores
Geosciences, 2018 Coastal flooding is a significant and increasing hazard. There are multiple drivers including rising coastal water levels, more intense hydrologic inputs, shoaling groundwater and urbanization.

Land subsidence contribution to coastal flooding hazard in southeast Florida [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2020 Over the past decade, several coastal communities in southeast Florida have experienced a significant increase in flooding frequency, which has caused significant disturbance to property, commerce, and overall quality of life.
