This review analyses global or near-global estimates of population exposure to sea-level
rise (SLR) and related hazards, followed by critically examining subsequent estimates of …

Rising levels of seas and oceans due to global warming could drastically affect the daily
lives of residents in coastal belts and lowland areas. Many of the most heavily populated …

Sea-level rise (SLR) is one of the most apparent climate change stressors facing human
society. Although it is known that many people at present inhabit areas vulnerable to SLR …

Sea-level rise threatens coastal salt-marshes and mangrove forests around the world, and a
key determinant of coastal wetland vulnerability is whether its surface elevation can keep …

Abstract Saint Martin, Bangladesh's only coral island, is a popular tourist destination and a
blue economy hub. Saint Martin's shoreline constantly changes due to natural and …

Digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from remote sensing data provide a valuable and
consistent data source for mapping coastal flooding at local and global scales. Mapping of …

Accurate habitat mapping in salt marshes is critical for both management and conservation
goals. Information on marsh elevation is important to coastal managers, particularly for flood …

Because sea level could rise 1 m or more during the next century, it is important to
understand what land, communities and assets may be most at risk from increased flooding …

Tidal salt marshes provide a range of ecosystem services. The most recently recognized is
their provision of highly effective sinks for atmospheric carbon dioxide, a characteristic they …

Elevation data are critical for assessments of sea-level rise (SLR) and coastal flooding
exposure. Previous research has demonstrated that the quality of data used in elevation …
