National-Scale Built-Environment Exposure to 100-Year Extreme Sea Levels and Sea-Level Rise [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 Coastal flooding from extreme sea levels will increase in frequency and magnitude as global climate change forces sea-level rise (SLR). Extreme sea-level events, rare in the recent past (i.e., once per century), are projected to occur at least once per year by 2050 along many of the world’s coastlines.

The exceptional influence of storm ‘Xaver’ on design water levels in the German Bight [PDF]
Environmental Research Letters, 2016 Design water levels for coastal structures are usually estimated based on extreme value statistics. Since their robustness depends heavily on the sample size of observations, regular statistical updates are needed, especially after extreme events.

Changing extreme sea levels along European coasts [PDF]
Coastal Engineering, 2014 Extreme sea levels at European coasts and their changes over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries are considered, including a method to analyze extreme sea levels and to assess their changes in a consistent way at different sites. The approach is based on using a combination of statistical tools and dynamical modelling as well as observational data

Extreme sea levels on the rise along Europe's coasts
Earth's Future, 2017 Future extreme sea levels (ESLs) and flood risk along European coasts will be strongly impacted by global warming. Yet, comprehensive projections of ESL that include mean sea level (MSL), tides, waves, and storm surges do not exist. Here, we show changes in all components of ESLs until 2100 in view of climate change.

Intensification of extreme cold events in East Asia in response to global mean sea-level rise [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsToday, the global mean sea level (GMSL) stands ~ 20 cm higher than at the beginning of the last century, and the rate of sea-level rise has been accelerating in recent decades. Even a slight, globally uniform sea-level rise can notably impact atmospheric

Extreme sea levels along coastal China: uncertainties and implications [PDF]
Stochastic Environmental Research and Risk Assessment, 2021 AbstractExtreme sea levels (ESLs) due to typhoon-induced storm surge threaten the societal security of densely populated coastal China. Uncertainty in extreme value analysis (EVA) for ESL estimation has large implications for coastal communities’ adaptation to natural hazards.

Uncertainties and discrepancies in the representation of recent storm surges in a non-tidal semi-enclosed basin: a hindcast ensemble for the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2023 Extreme sea level events, such as storm surges, pose a threat to coastlines around the globe. Many tide gauges have been measuring the sea level and recording these extreme events for decades, some for over a century.

Extreme sea levels at different global warming levels [PDF]
Nature Climate Change, 2021 AbstractThe Paris agreement focused global climate mitigation policy on limiting global warming to 1.5 or 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. Consequently, projections of hazards and risk are increasingly framed in terms of global warming levels rather than emission scenarios.

Spatial and temporal analysis of extreme storm-tide and skew-surge events around the coastline of New Zealand [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Coastal flooding is a major global hazard, yet few studies have examined the spatial and temporal characteristics of extreme sea level and associated coastal flooding.
