Land-based sensors reveal high frequency of coastal flooding [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentCoastal flooding is occurring more frequently due to global sea-level rise, among other factors. However, current understanding of coastal flood frequency and sea-level rise impacts is predominantly based on tide gauges, which do not measure water levels

The Great North Sea Flood of 1953, The Deltaworks and the spatial distribution of people [PDF]
, 2013 Large shocks, such as natural disasters, are often found to have little or no effect on the equilibrium distribution of economic activity across space. Two apparently competing theoretical explanations for this phenomenon are the increasing returns theory and the locational fundamentals theory.

The sea level simulator v1.0: a model for integration of mean sea level change and sea level extremes into a joint probabilistic framework [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 A statistical model called the sea level simulator v1.0 is introduced. The model integrates mean sea level change and sea level extremes into a joint probabilistic framework that is useful for coastal spatial planning.

Compound floods in Hong Kong: Hazards, triggers, and socio-economic consequences
Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2023 Study region: Hong Kong is a megalopolis located on the southeast coast of China. Study focus: Megalopolis located in low-lying coastal areas such as Hong Kong is especially vulnerable to compound flood risks from multiple flood drivers (e.g., heavy ...

Effects of the Temporal Variability of Storm Surges on Coastal Flooding
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Assessments of flood exposure and risk are usually conducted for individual events with a specific peak water level and hydrograph, without considering variations in the temporal evolution (duration and intensity) of storm surges. Here we investigate the
