Improved Estimates of Population Exposure in Low-Elevation Coastal Zones of China [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019 With sea level predicted to rise and the frequency and intensity of coastal flooding expected to increase due to climate change, high-resolution gridded population datasets have been extensively used to estimate the size of vulnerable populations in low-elevation coastal zones (LECZ). China is the most populous country, and populations in its LECZ grew

Climate Change Impacts on Rural Poverty in Low-Elevation Coastal Zones [PDF]
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2015 This paper identifies the low-elevation coastal zone populations and developing regions most vulnerable to sea-level rise and other coastal hazards, such as storm surges, coastal erosion, and salt-water intrusion. The focus is on the rural poor in the low-elevation coastal zone, as their economic livelihoods are especially endangered directly by ...

An evaluation of onshore digital elevation models for modeling tsunami inundation zones [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2015 A sensitivity study is undertaken to assess the utility of different onshore digital elevation models (DEM) for simulating the extent of tsunami inundation using case studies from two locations in Indonesia. We compare airborne IFSAR, ASTER and SRTM against high resolution LiDAR and stereo-camera data in locations with different coastal morphologies ...

A 30 m global map of elevation with forests and buildings removed
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Elevation data are fundamental to many applications, especially in geosciences. The latest global elevation data contains forest and building artifacts that limit its usefulness for applications that require precise terrain heights, in particular flood ...

Ocean Science (OS), 2018 . Although tide gauges are the primary source of data used to calculate multi-decadal- to century-scale rates of relative sea-level change, we question the usefulness of tide-gauge data in rapidly subsiding low-elevation coastal zones (LECZs).

Continuous change in Tanzanian moist forest tree communities with elevation [PDF]
, 1998 Although some studies in tropical forests suggest the existence of elevational discontinuities, zones or critical altitudes in floristic composition (briefly reviewed by Lovett 1996) two data sets from the Usambara mountains of Tanzania independently ...

VARIATION IN THE FLOWERING PHENOLOGY OF AN EPIPHYTIC BROMELIAD ALONG AN ELEVATIONAL GRADIENT
Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2020 Elevational patterns in flowering phenology have been reported for trees, shrubs and herbs. However, for vascular epiphytes that rely on atmospheric sources for humidity and nutrients, and depend on phorophyte microhabitat, elevational patterns of ...
