Allowances for evolving coastal flood risk under uncertain local sea-level rise [PDF]
Climatic Change, 2015 Estimates of future flood hazards made under the assumption of stationary mean sea level are biased low due to sea-level rise (SLR). However, adjustments to flood return levels made assuming fixed increases of sea level are also inadequate when applied ...

Assessing Coastal Road Flood Risk in Arctic Alaska, a Case Study from Hooper Bay
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Rising waters and land subsidence are increasing relative sea levels in western and northern Alaska, forcing communities to relocate or armor in place.

Extreme sea level variability dominates coastal flood risk changes at decadal time scales
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Coastal flood risk assessments typically ignore interannual to multidecadal variability stemming from mean sea level, storm surges, and long period tides (i.e. 4.4 year perigean and 18.6 year nodal cycles), although combined these can lead to significant

Slovenian coast sea floods risk
Acta geographica Slovenica, 2006 Article gives a review of sea floods on Slovenian coast with emphasis on their formation, extent and consequences. Sea floods are occurring every year, but they vary in frequency and extent. Consequently, the damage caused by floods also varies. Sea floods rise with flood tides, strong south winds and drops in air pressure.

A comparison of two global datasets of extreme sea levels and resulting flood exposure
Earth's Future, 2017 Estimating the current risk of coastal flooding requires adequate information on extreme sea levels. For over a decade, the only global data available was the DINAS‐COAST Extreme Sea Levels (DCESL) dataset, which applies a static approximation to ...

Earth's FutureSea‐level rise is leading to increasingly frequent coastal floods globally. Recent research shows that changes in tidal properties and storm surge magnitudes can further exacerbate sea‐level rise‐related increases in flood frequencies.

Venice as a paradigm of coastal flooding under multiple compound drivers
Scientific Reports, 2022 Full comprehension of the dynamics of hazardous sea levels is indispensable for assessing and managing coastal flood risk, especially under a changing climate. The 12 November 2019 devastating flood in the historical city of Venice (Italy) stimulated new

Motivations for local climate adaptation in Dutch municipalities: climate change impacts and the role of local-level government [PDF]
, 2009 The local government level is considered to be crucial in preparing society for climate change impact. Yet little is known about why local authorities do or do not take action to adapt their community for climate change impacts.
