Future Coastal Population Growth and Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Flooding - A Global Assessment

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its related effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and exhibit higher rates of population growth and urbanisation. As this trend

Doubling of coastal flooding frequency within decades due to sea-level rise

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Global climate change drives sea-level rise, increasing the frequency of coastal flooding. In most coastal regions, the amount of sea-level rise occurring over years to decades is significantly smaller than normal ocean-level fluctuations caused by tides,
