Valuing natural habitats for enhancing coastal resilience: Wetlands reduce property damage from storm surge and sea level rise. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2020
Storm surge and sea level rise (SLR) are affecting coastal communities, properties, and ecosystems. While coastal ecosystems, such as wetlands and marshes, have the capacity to reduce the impacts of storm surge and coastal flooding, the increasing rate ...

Historical Reconstruction of Storm Surge Activity in the Southeastern Coastal Area of China for the Past 60 Years

Earth and Space Science, 2020
It is a very difficult task to analyze the spatial and temporal variability of storm surge activity with current monitoring methods, because tide gauge observation, satellite altimeter, and numerical simulation do not ensure sufficient spatial and ...

Global compound floods from precipitation and storm surge: Hazards and the roles of cyclones

Journal of Climate, 2021
During simultaneous or successive occurrences of precipitation and storm surges, the interplay of the two types of extremes can exacerbate the impact to a greater extent than either of them in isolation.

Storm Surges and Extreme Sea Levels: Review, Establishment of Model Intercomparison and Coordination of Surge Climate Projection Efforts (SurgeMIP).

Weather and Climate Extremes
Coastal flood damage is primarily the result of extreme sea levels. Climate change is expected to drive an increase in these extremes. While proper estimation of changes in storm surges is essential to estimate changes in extreme sea levels, there ...
