Low‐elevation coastal areas are increasingly vulnerable to seawater flooding as sea levels
rise and the frequency and intensity of large storms increase with climate change. Seawater …

Soil salinization caused by sea level rise threatens coastal agricultural soils and
geochemically important wetlands worldwide. The aim of this review is to outline expected …

Recent record rainfall and flood events have prompted increased attention to flood impacts
on human systems. Information regarding flood effects on food security is of particular …

Saltwater intrusion (SWI) into coastal aquifers is a growing problem for the drinking water
supply of coastal communities worldwide, including for the sustainability of coastal …

Observations of woody plant mortality in coastal ecosystems are globally widespread, but
the overarching processes and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This …

Saltwater intrusion on coastal farmlands can render productive land unsuitable for
agricultural activities. While the visible extent of salt-impacted land provides a useful …

Ghost forests consisting of dead trees adjacent to marshes are striking indicators of climate
change, and marsh migration into retreating coastal forests is a primary mechanism for …

Recent studies have focused on the effect of large tropical cyclones (hurricanes) on the
shore, neglecting the role of less intense but more frequent events. Here we analyze the …

Shrimp aquaculture has expanded rapidly in coastal zones worldwide over the past few
decades. Saline water stored in shrimp farm ponds can infiltrate into the underlying aquifer …

Coastal defense structures (eg, dikes, seawalls) protect vulnerable communities along
marine coastlines and estuaries from the physical and chemical influences of adjacent water …
