Changes in extreme sea-levels in the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2014 In a climate change context, changes in extreme sea-levels rather than changes in the mean are of particular interest from the coastal protection point of view. In this work, extreme sea-levels in the Baltic Sea are investigated based on daily tide gauge

Non-linear interaction modulates global extreme sea levels, coastal flood exposure, and impacts [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 The non-linear interaction between tide and non-tidal residual impacts current and future extreme water levels. Here, based on 620 gauge records, the authors find a large non-linear interaction in the US East Coast, North Sea and parts of southern Japan,

Global probabilistic projections of extreme sea levels show intensification of coastal flood hazard [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Extreme sea levels are a flood risk along the world’s coastlines. Here the authors carry out probabilistic projections of extreme sea levels and show that for the present century coastal flood hazards will increase significantly along most of the global ...

Complex Extreme Sea Levels Prediction Analysis: Karachi Coast Case Study [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 In this study, the analysis of the extreme sea level was carried out by using 10 years (2007–2016) of hourly tide gauge data of Karachi port station along the Pakistan coast.

Extreme Sea Levels on the Coast of California [PDF]
Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984 During the winter of 1982-1983, a combination of high tides, higher than normal sea level and storm-induced waves were devastating to the coast of California. Damage estimates for public and private property destruction in the coastal counties of California total over $100,000,000.

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.

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

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.
