Impacts of climate change in coastal systems in Europe. PESETA-Coastal Systems study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Results of the physical impacts and adaptation cost assessment of sea-level rise for the European Union are presented for the A2 and B2 SRES socio-economic storylines and for a range of plausible sea-level rise scenarios, using data from the ECHAM4 and ...

Massive benthic litter funnelled to deep sea by flash-flood generated hyperpycnal flows

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Marine litter is an emerging environmental threat affecting all world’s oceans including the deep seafloor, where the extent of the phenomenon is still largely unknown. We report the spatial patterns of macro-litter distribution within the Messina Strait’

Reconstructing and understanding the impacts of storms and surges, southern North Sea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Coastal barriers are ubiquitous globally and provide a vital protective role to valuable landforms, habitats and communities located to landward. They are, however, vulnerable to extreme water levels and storm wave impacts.

Recommendations on Flood Management at Cengkareng Drain Estuary in Enhancing Estuary Resilience to Compound Hazard

open access: yesCSID Journal of Infrastructure Development, 2023
Jakarta's coastal region, characterized by dense settlements and industrial zones, faces significant flood risks due to land subsidence and rising sea levels, exacerbated by human activities and climate change.

A Coherent Statistical Model for Coastal Flood Frequency Analysis Under Nonstationary Sea Level Conditions

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2019
Flood exposure is increasing in coastal communities due to rising sea levels. Understanding the effects of sea level rise (SLR) on frequency and consequences of coastal flooding and subsequent social and economic impacts is of utmost importance for ...

A comparison of climate simulations for the last glacial maximum with three different versions of the ECHAM model and implications for summer-green tree refugia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This is an open access article. The official link can be found below.Model simulations of the last glacial maximum (21 ± 2 ka) with the ECHAM3 T42 atmosphere-only, ECHAM5-MPIOM T31 atmosphere-ocean coupled and ECHAM5 T106 atmosphere-only models are ...

Dependence between high sea-level and high river discharge increases flood hazard in global deltas and estuaries

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
When river and coastal floods coincide, their impacts are often worse than when they occur in isolation; such floods are examples of ‘compound events’. To better understand the impacts of these compound events, we require an improved understanding of the

Systematic sensitivity analysis of the full economic impacts of sea level rise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The potential impacts of sea level rise (SLR) due to climate change have been widely studied in the literature. However, the uncertainty and robustness of these estimates has seldom been explored.

Impacts of Antarctic fast dynamics on sea-level projections and coastal flood defense [PDF]

open access: yesClimatic Change, 2016
Strategies to manage the risks posed by future sea-level rise hinge on a sound characterization of the inherent uncertainties. One of the major uncertainties is the possible rapid disintegration of large fractions of the Antarctic ice sheet in response ...

Modelling Coastal Flood Propagation under Sea Level Rise: A Case Study in Maria, Eastern Canada

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
Coastal management often relies on large-scale flood mapping to produce sea level rise assessments where the storm-related surge is considered as the most important hazard.
