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 ...

Sea Level Rise and Future Projections in the Baltic Sea
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 This article aimed to provide an overview of relative and absolute sea level rise in the Baltic Sea based on different studies, where researchers have used data from tide gauges, satellite altimetry, sea level rise, and land uplift models.

Setback zones can effectively reduce exposure to sea-level rise in Europe
Scientific Reports, 2023 Coastal space is one of the most valuable assets of the EU coastal member states, as the coast is highly urbanized. Hard engineering has traditionally been employed to protect communities in coastal lowlands, but as this alternative becomes less ...

Science, 2013 In his News and Analysis piece reporting on the newly released fifth assessment report (AR5) by Working Group I (WGI) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (“A Stronger IPCC Report,” 4 October, p. [23][1]), R. A. Kerr highlights three fundamental conclusions about climate change that were assessed with equal or greater confidence than

The Reversibility of Sea Level Rise [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2013 Abstract During the last century, global climate has been warming, and projections indicate that such a warming is likely to continue over coming decades. Most of the extra heat is stored in the ocean, resulting in thermal expansion of seawater and global mean sea level rise.

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.
