A High‐End Estimate of Sea Level Rise for Practitioners
Earth's Future, 2022 Sea level rise (SLR) is a long‐lasting consequence of climate change because global anthropogenic warming takes centuries to millennia to equilibrate for the deep ocean and ice sheets. SLR projections based on climate models support policy analysis, risk

Coastal Adaptation to Climate Change and Sea-Level Rise
Water (Switzerland), 2021 The Earth’s climate is changing; ice sheets and glaciers are melting and coastal hazards and sea level are rising in response. With a total population of over 300 million people situated on coasts, including 20 of the planet’s 33 megacities (over 10 ...

Structural Safety, 2022 Sea-level rise due to climate change could significantly exacerbate tsunami disasters since the sea level is a critical parameter affecting the intensity of tsunamis. Considering the impacts of future climate change on the ocean, a method to consider the

Coastal Wetland Resilience, Accelerated Sea‐Level Rise, and the Importance of Timescale
AGU Advances, 2021 Recent studies have produced conflicting results as to whether coastal wetlands can keep up with present‐day and future sea‐level rise. The stratigraphic record shows that threshold rates for coastal wetland submergence or retreat are lower than what ...

Adapting to sea level rise and storms [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIt is well known that sea level rise (SLR) will force retreat along rural coastlines but that cities will need to protect their coasts. But how exactly should seawalls, flood insurance, and retreat be used over time to minimize the overall cost of ...

Investigating the interaction of waves and river discharge during compound flooding at Breede Estuary, South Africa [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022 Recent studies have drawn special attention to the significant dependencies between flood drivers and the occurrence of compound flood events in coastal areas.

Setback zones can effectively reduce exposure to sea-level rise in Europe
Scientific Reports, 2023 Coastal space is one of the most valuable assets of the EU coastal member states, as the coast is highly urbanized. Hard engineering has traditionally been employed to protect communities in coastal lowlands, but as this alternative becomes less ...

Nature Communications, 2023 Climate change-induced sea-level rise will lead to an increase in internal migration, whose intensity and spatial patterns will depend on the amount of sea-level rise; future socioeconomic development; and adaptation strategies pursued to reduce exposure

Constraints on the adjustment of tidal marshes to accelerating sea level rise
Science, 2022 Much uncertainty exists about the vulnerability of valuable tidal marsh ecosystems to relative sea level rise. Previous assessments of resilience to sea level rise, to which marshes can adjust by sediment accretion and elevation gain, revealed ...

Climate Risk Management, 2021 Mean and extreme sea-level uncertainties, as well as uncertainty about future flood exposure, hinder the risk-based optimisation of flood protection investments.
