Over the past decades, the scientific community has made significant efforts to simulate
flooding conditions using a variety of complex physically based models. Despite all …

We review the characteristics of sea level variability at the coast focussing on how it differs
from the variability in the nearby deep ocean. Sea level variability occurs on all timescales …

Flooding is among the most prevalent natural hazards, with particularly disastrous impacts in
low-income countries. This study presents global estimates of the number of people …

Current flood risk map**, relying on historical observations, fails to account for increasing
threat under climate change. Incorporating recent developments in inundation modelling …

Climate-induced sea-level rise and vertical land movements, including natural and human-
induced subsidence in sedimentary coastal lowlands, combine to change relative sea levels …

The Paris agreement focused global climate mitigation policy on limiting global warming to
1.5 or 2° C above pre-industrial levels. Consequently, projections of hazards and risk are …

Global models of tide, storm surge, and wave setup are used to obtain projections of
episodic coastal flooding over the coming century. The models are extensively validated …

Sandy beaches occupy more than one-third of the global coastline and have high
socioeconomic value related to recreation, tourism and ecosystem services. Beaches are …

Most estimates of global mean sea-level rise this century fall below 2 m. This quantity is
comparable to the positive vertical bias of the principle digital elevation model (DEM) used …

Coastal flood risks are rising rapidly. We provide high resolution estimates of the economic
value of mangroves forests for flood risk reduction every 20 km worldwide. We develop a …
