Integrating variable and non-dispatchable renewable power generation into existing power
systems will have consequences for their operation and future expansion. These impacts …

Wind-waves have an important role in Earth system dynamics through air–sea interactions
and are key drivers of coastal and offshore hydro-morphodynamics that affect communities …

Wind-generated ocean waves drive important coastal processes that determine flooding and
erosion. Ocean warming has been one factor affecting waves globally. Most studies have …

Studies of climate change typically consider measurements or predictions of temperature
over extended periods of time. Climate, however, is much more than temperature. Over the …

Future changes in wind-wave climate have broad implications for the operation and design
of coastal, near-and off-shore industries and ecosystems, and may further exacerbate the …

Assessments of global wave power have been receiving increasing attention currently;
however, a characterization of the global resources that holistically consider the different …

This chapter considers changes in global mean sea level, regional sea level, sea level
extremes, and waves. Confidence in projections of global mean sea level rise has increased …

The recent release of the ECMWF Reanalysis Interim (ERA-I) and NCEP Climate Forecast
System Reanalysis (CFSR) allows for studies of global climate and its cycles with …

Coastal zones are fragile and complex dynamical systems that are increasingly under threat
from the combined effects of anthropogenic pressure and climate change. Using global …

Executive summary Physical and biological systems on all continents and in most oceans
are already being affected by recent climate changes, particularly regional temperature …
