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.

MODELLING MEMORY OF COASTAL FLOOD SYSTEMS [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2014
Flooding and coastal erosion is a frequent and widespread natural hazard in the UK. With increasing urban development pressures on flood systems and changing global climate, frequency and severity of flooding is rapidly increasing. Temporal clustering of flood events in time has a critical effect in reducing the ability of systems to recover to the pre-

Physical Instability of Individuals Exposed to Storm‐Induced Coastal Flooding: Vulnerability of New Yorkers During Hurricane Sandy

Water Resources Research, 2021
Flood risk assessment requires a quantitative understanding of hazards and vulnerability. In the coastal built environment, the human's vulnerability to combined hazards due to the floodwater and winds is an integral component of flood risks. The present

Long-Term Dynamic of Land Reclamation and Its Impact on Coastal Flooding: A Case Study in Xiamen, China

Land, 2021
While land reclaimed from the sea meets the land demand for coastal development, it simultaneously causes socio-economic systems to be prone to coastal flooding induced by storm surges and sea-level rise.
