Sea-level rise from land subsidence in major coastal cities
Nature Sustainability, 2022 Coastal land can be lost at rapid rates due to relative sea-level rise (RSLR) resulting from local land subsidence. However, the comparative severity of local land subsidence is unknown due to high spatial variabilities and difficulties reconciling ...

New elevation data triple estimates of global vulnerability to sea-level rise and coastal flooding
Nature Communications, 2019 Most estimates of global mean sea-level rise this century fall below 2 m. This quantity is comparable to the positive vertical bias of the principle digital elevation model (DEM) used to assess global and national population exposures to extreme coastal ...

Climate-change–driven accelerated sea-level rise detected in the altimeter era
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Satellite altimetry has shown that global mean sea level has been rising at a rate of ∼3 ± 0.4 mm/y since 1993. Using the altimeter record coupled with careful consideration of interannual and decadal variability as well as potential ...

Water-level attenuation in global-scale assessments of exposure to coastal flooding: a sensitivity analysis [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 This study explores the uncertainty introduced in global assessments of coastal flood exposure and risk when not accounting for water-level attenuation due to land-surface characteristics.

Non-linear interaction modulates global extreme sea levels, coastal flood exposure, and impacts
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,

Thresholds of mangrove survival under rapid sea level rise
Science, 2020 Mangroves under sea level rise The rate of sea level rise has doubled from 1.8 millimeters per year over the 20th century to ∼3.4 millimeters per year in recent years. Saintilan et al.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 We present an analysis of the long-term trends and variability of extreme water and tidal levels and the main tidal constituents using long-term records from two tide gauges in the wider region of the Rio de la Plata estuary: Buenos Aires (1905–2013) and

Disaster on the horizon: The price effect of sea level rise
Journal of Financial Economics, 2019 Homes exposed to sea level rise (SLR) sell for approximately 7% less than observably equivalent unexposed properties equidistant from the beach. This discount has grown over time and is driven by sophisticated buyers and communities worried about global ...

Complementing thermosteric sea level rise estimates [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2015 Thermal expansion of seawater has been one of the most important contributors to global sea level rise (SLR) over the past 100 years. Yet, observational estimates of this volumetric response of the world's oceans to temperature changes are sparse and ...
