Coevolution of Extreme Sea Levels and Sea‐Level Rise Under Global Warming
Earth's Future, 2023 Design of coastal defense structures like seawalls and breakwaters can no longer be based on stationarity assumption. In many parts of the world, an anticipated sea‐level rise (SLR) due to climate change will constitute present‐day extreme sea levels ...

Long‐term variations in global sea level extremes [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2015 AbstractDecadal to multidecadal variations in sea level extremes unrelated to mean sea level changes have been investigated using long tide gauge records distributed worldwide. A state space approach has been applied that provides robust solutions and uncertainties of the time evolving characteristics of extremes, allowing for data gaps and uneven ...

Popular extreme sea level metrics can better communicate impacts. [PDF]
Clim Change, 2022 Abstract Estimates of changes in the frequency or height of contemporary extreme sea levels (ESLs) under various climate change scenarios are often used by climate and sea level scientists to help communicate the physical basis for societal concern regarding sea level rise.

Spatial and temporal analysis of extreme sea level and storm surge events around the coastline of the UK. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2016 In this paper we analyse the spatial footprint and temporal clustering of extreme sea level and skew surge events around the UK coast over the last 100 years (1915-2014). The vast majority of the extreme sea level events are generated by moderate, rather

A century of sea level data and the UK's 2013/14 storm surges: an assessment of extremes and clustering using the Newlyn tide gauge record [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2014 For the UK's longest and most complete sea level record (Newlyn), we assess extreme high waters and their temporal clustering; prompted by the 2013/2014 winter of storms and flooding. These are set into context against this almost 100-year record.

Importance of non-stationary analysis for assessing extreme sea levels under sea level rise [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Increased coastal flooding caused by extreme sea levels (ESLs) is one of the major hazards related to sea level rise. Estimates of return levels obtained under the framework provided by extreme-event theory might be biased under climatic non-stationarity.

National assessment of extreme sea-level driven inundation under rising sea levels
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Episodic inundation from extreme sea-levels (ESLs) will have increasing social and economic impacts in response to relative sea level rise (RSLR). Despite the improved global understanding of ESL frequencies and magnitudes, detailed nationwide inundation

Reconstructing hourly coastal total sea levels and assessing current and future extreme sea levels threats to the Coast of China [PDF]
Scientific ReportsClimate-driven sea level rise (SLR) will intensify extreme sea level (ESL) events along China’s coast. This study reconstructs continuous hourly total sea level (TSL) by incorporating SLA, tide, storm surge, and wave components, addressing the sparse ...

Projected 21st Century Sea-Level Changes, Observed Sea Level Extremes, and Sea Level Allowances for Norway [PDF]
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2017 Changes to mean sea level and/or sea level extremes (e.g., storm surges) will lead to changes in coastal impacts. These changes represent a changing exposure or risk to our society.
