The global sediment cycle is a fundamental feature of the Earth system, balancing
competing factors such as orogeny, physical–chemical erosion and human action. In this …

Coastal zones, the world's most densely populated regions, are increasingly threatened by
climate change stressors—rising and warming seas, intensifying storms and droughts, and …

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 …

Coastal land can be lost at rapid rates due to relative sea-level rise (RSLR) resulting from
local land subsidence. However, the comparative severity of local land subsidence is …

Coastal wetlands, composed of coastal vegetation and non-vegetated tidal flats, play critical
roles in biodiversity conservation, food production, and the global economy. Coastal …

Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its
related effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and …

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 …

Microplastics (MPs) are considered pollutants that are ubiquitously distributed in aquatic
environments. One of the key hotspot areas to understand fluxes of MPs entering into the …

Coastal regions (including estuaries and deltas) are very complex environments with
diverse hydrodynamic and bio-geomorphological contexts and with important socio …

Coastal flood damage and adaptation costs under 21st century sea-level rise are assessed
on a global scale taking into account a wide range of uncertainties in continental topography …
