Global probabilistic projections of extreme sea levels show intensification of coastal flood hazard
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 ...

Deep uncertainties in sea-level rise and storm surge projections: Implications for coastal flood risk management [PDF]
Risk Analysis, 2017 Sea-levels are rising in many areas around the world, posing risks to coastal communities and infrastructures. Strategies for managing these flood risks present decision challenges that require a combination of geophysical, economic, and infrastructure ...

Flood damage costs under the sea level rise with warming of 1.5 °C and 2 °C
Environmental Research Letters, 2018 We estimate a median global sea level rise up to 52 cm (25–87 cm, 5th–95th percentile) and up to 63 cm (27−112 cm, 5th—95th percentile) for a temperature rise of 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C by 2100 respectively.

Regional assessment of extreme sea levels and associated coastal flooding along the German Baltic Sea coast [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Among the Baltic Sea littoral states, Germany is anticipated to endure considerable damage as a result of increased coastal flooding due to sea-level rise (SLR). Consequently, there is a growing demand for flood risk assessments, particularly at regional

Environmental Research Letters, 2016 Coastal cities are vulnerable to increasing flood risks caused by the combination of sea-level rise (SLR) and storm tides (STs), due to their low-lying topography and densely distributed assets.

Sea-level rise exponentially increases coastal flood frequency
Scientific Reports, 2020 Sea-level rise will radically redefine the coastline of the 21 st century. For many coastal regions, projections of global sea-level rise by the year 2100 (e.g., 0.5–2 meters) are comparable in magnitude to today’s extreme but short-lived increases in ...

Non-linear interaction modulates global extreme sea levels, coastal flood exposure, and impacts
Nature Communications, 2020 We introduce a novel approach to statistically assess the non-linear interaction of tide and non-tidal residual in order to quantify its contribution to extreme sea levels and hence its role in modulating coastal protection levels, globally.

Remote Sensing, 2020 Global mean sea level rise associated with global warming has a major impact on coastal areas and represents one of the significant natural hazards. The Asia-Pacific region, which has the highest concentration of human population in the world, represents

Urban Transformations, 2020 Climate-driven changes in coastal flood risk have enormous consequences for coastal cities. These risks intersect with unequal patterns of environmental hazards exacerbating differential vulnerability of climate related flooding.
