A global analysis of subsidence, relative sea-level change and coastal flood exposure
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Projections of global-scale extreme sea levels and resulting episodic coastal flooding over the 21st Century
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 …

Mediterranean UNESCO World Heritage at risk from coastal flooding and erosion due to sea-level rise
Abstract UNESCO World Heritage sites (WHS) located in coastal areas are increasingly at
risk from coastal hazards due to sea-level rise. In this study, we assess Mediterranean …

[HTML][HTML] Natural hazard risk assessments at the global scale
Since 1990, natural hazards have led to over 1.6 million fatalities globally, and economic
losses are estimated at an average of around USD 260–310 billion per year. The scientific …

Coastal flooding will disproportionately impact people on river deltas
Climate change is intensifying tropical cyclones, accelerating sea-level rise, and increasing
coastal flooding. River deltas are especially vulnerable to flooding because of their low …

Climatic and socioeconomic controls of future coastal flood risk in Europe
Rising extreme sea levels (ESLs) and continued socioeconomic development in coastal
zones will lead to increasing future flood risk along the European coastline. We present a …

Understanding extreme sea levels for broad-scale coastal impact and adaptation analysis
One of the main consequences of mean sea level rise (SLR) on human settlements is an
increase in flood risk due to an increase in the intensity and frequency of extreme sea levels …
