Adapting to sea level rise and storms [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIt is well known that sea level rise (SLR) will force retreat along rural coastlines but that cities will need to protect their coasts. But how exactly should seawalls, flood insurance, and retreat be used over time to minimize the overall cost of ...

Mapping and valuation of ecosystems and economic activities along the coast of Cameroon: implications of future sea level rise. [PDF]
, 2009 The vulnerability of the coastal zone of Cameroon to flooding from sea level rise (SLR) was quantified using Geographic Information System (GIS) flooding analysis.

Timescales for detecting a significant acceleration in sea level rise [PDF]
, 2014 There is observational evidence that global sea level is rising and there is concern that the rate of rise will increase, significantly threatening coastal communities.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Here we show the SAVEMEDCOASTS-2 web-based geographic information system (webGIS) that supports land planners and decision makers in considering the ongoing impacts of Relative Sea Level Rise (RSLR) when formulating and prioritizing climate-resilient ...

The transient sensitivity of sea level rise [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2021 Recent assessments from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) imply that global mean sea level is unlikely to rise more than about 1.1 m within this century but will increase further beyond 2100.

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,

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

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 ...

River Deltas and Sea-Level Rise [PDF]
Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2023 Future sea-level rise poses an existential threat for many river deltas, yet quantifying the effect of sea-level changes on these coastal landforms remains a challenge. Sea-level changes have been slow compared to other coastal processes during the instrumental record, such that our knowledge comes primarily from models, experiments, and the geologic ...
