, 2017 Sea level rise is naturally a topic of concern to many Floridians. Our intention in this chapter is to give the reader enough information on this topic to inform decisions about future adaptation strategies. We begin by reviewing how we measure sea level and the reasons that sea level can change. At the global level, the problem is relatively simple in

Coastal Wetland Resilience, Accelerated Sea‐Level Rise, and the Importance of Timescale
AGU Advances, 2021 Recent studies have produced conflicting results as to whether coastal wetlands can keep up with present‐day and future sea‐level rise. The stratigraphic record shows that threshold rates for coastal wetland submergence or retreat are lower than what ...

Consequences of sea level variability and sea level rise for Cuban territory [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015 The objective of the present paper was to determine a first approximation of coastal zone flooding by 2100, taking into account the more persistent processes of sea level variability and non-accelerated linear sea level rise estimation to assess the main
