Increasing flooding hazard in coastal communities due to rising sea level: Case study of Miami Beach, Florida [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sea level rise (SLR) imposes an increasing flooding hazard on low-lying coastal communities due to higher exposure to high-tide conditions and storm surge.

Regulatory Convergence and Divergence in ESG Reporting in the Indo‐Pacific Region

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting has evolved significantly globally over the past few decades. Many countries are now signatories to international agreements such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, with increasing commitments to emissions reduction targets and the

Drone as a tool for coastal flood monitoring in the Volta Delta, Ghana

open access: yesGeoenvironmental Disasters, 2018
Background Monitoring coastal erosion and flooding in deltaic environment is a major challenge. The uncertainties associated with land based methods and remote sensing approaches affect the levels of accuracy, reliability and usability of the output maps

Modelling of Storm-induced Seawater Flooding in the Suyeong River Area, South Korea: A Case Study due to the Storm Surge and Waves during Typhoon Sanba [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The Suyeong River Area (SRA), located in Busan, a major city on the southeastern coast of South Korea, is frequently damaged by storm-induced seawater flooding.

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Storm surge, seawater flooding, and sea-level rise paradoxically drive fresh surface water expansion

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
Coastal storms and sea-level rise (SLR) are expected to increase seawater flooding in low-elevation coastal zones. High sea levels and seawater flooding can drive groundwater table rise via ocean-aquifer connections.

COASTAL FLOOD SIMULATION IN STRETCHED COORDINATES

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 1978
Coastal flooding in developed areas can be catastrophic. As an essential element in coastal water level prediction, a two-dimensional numerical model of long period wave behavior is presented. The time dependency is treated implicitly for cost-effective simulation of coastal flooding from hurricane surges or other hydrodynamic phenomena such as ...

Regeneration failure, fire, topography, and climate interact to drive temperate wet forest landscapes into fire traps

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...
