Multiple climate change-driven tipping points for coastal systems

Scientific Reports, 2021
As the climate evolves over the next century, the interaction of accelerating sea level rise (SLR) and storms, combined with confining development and infrastructure, will place greater stresses on physical, ecological, and human systems along the ocean ...
