Tropical cyclone‐generated storm surges are among the world's most deadly and
destructive natural hazards. This paper provides the first comprehensive global review of …

Climatologists have identified and started to explain a range of different modes of climatic
variability which seem to be essential components of behaviour of the global climatic …

Australia's marine life is highly diverse and endemic. Here we describe projections of
climate change in Australian waters and examine from the literature likely impacts of these …

Coastal flooding is a major global hazard, yet few studies have examined the spatial and

This paper provides new maps of the surficial sediment distribution on the continental shelf
(0∼ 150 m water depth) of New Zealand based on a new database–nzSEABED. The maps …

Reflecting increased interest in the field and its relevance in global environmental issues,
Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review, Volume 45 provides authoritative …

In conjunction with tides, storm surge is one major driver of coastal flooding associated with
storm events. Because local inundation is strongly modulated by the local shape of the …

The historical, present, and projected future risk of coastal flooding necessitates measures to
protect coastal communities and environments, including using natural defences such as …

The original analysis of long‐term sea level change in New Zealand is updated with a new
and extended analysis. In this new analysis the original hourly sea level data have been re …

Sea-level rise will cause erosion of land, deeper and increasingly frequent flooding and will
eventually permanently inundate low-elevation land, forcing the adaptation of seaside …
