The report summarizes the science and the impacts of climate change on the United States,
now and in the future. It focuses on climate change impacts in different regions of the US and …

Research on urban vulnerability has grown considerably in the last several years but is still
largely limited and characterized by constraints based on interdisciplinary differences in …

Urban areas have unique characteristics that render their residents and assets particularly
vulnerable to climate change. Many large urban centers are located along coasts or in low …

With continuing influx of large numbers of people into coastal regions, human stresses on
coastal ecosystems and resources are growing at the same time that climate variability and …

Sea level rise (SLR) poses increasing flood risks to coastal cities and infrastructure. We
propose a general framework of engineering resilience for infrastructure systems in the …

Climate change and sea level rise (SLR) pose risks to coastal communities around the
world, but societal understanding of the distributional and equity implications of SLR impacts …

At the global scale, the warming of the atmosphere will increase the capacity of the
atmosphere to hold and accelerate the redistribution of water in the atmosphere. This …

Abstract In the northeastern United States, flooding arising from wave overtopping poses a
constant threat to coastal communities during storm events. The purpose of this study is to …

Traditional approaches to flood management in a nonstationary world begin with a null
hypothesis test of “no trend” and its likelihood, with little or no attention given to the …

It is widely accepted that climate change will cause sea level rise and increase the coastal
flood hazard in many places. However, climate change also has significant implications for …
