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 ...

Simplified model to estimate impact on coastal water resources and loss of shore line land due to climate change and sea level rise [PDF]
, 2017 This paper presents a review of past to current observations in the study of climate change and sea-level rise. It appraised the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise, and other drivers on the climate system and factors contributing to ...

Synthesizing long-term sea level rise projections – the MAGICC sea level model v2.0 [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2017 Sea level rise (SLR) is one of the major impacts of global warming; it will threaten coastal populations, infrastructure, and ecosystems around the globe in coming centuries.

Migration patterns under different scenarios of sea level rise
, 2019 We propose a framework to examine future migration patterns of people under different sea level rise scenarios using models of human migration. Specifically, we couple a sea level rise model with a data-driven model of human migration, creating a ...

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

Evaluating the Response of Mediterranean-Atlantic Saltmarshes to Sea-Level Rise [PDF]
, 2019 Saltmarshes provide high-value ecological services and play an important role in coastal ecosystems and populations. As the rate of sea level rise accelerates in response to climate change, saltmarshes and tidal environments and the ecosystem services ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden.
