Forcing factors affecting sea level changes at the coast

PL Woodworth, A Melet, M Marcos, RD Ray… - Surveys in …, 2019 - Springer
We review the characteristics of sea level variability at the coast focussing on how it differs
from the variability in the nearby deep ocean. Sea level variability occurs on all timescales …

Sea level rise and the dynamics of the marsh-upland boundary

S Fagherazzi, SC Anisfeld, LK Blum… - Frontiers in …, 2019 - frontiersin.org
During sea level rise, salt marshes transgress inland invading low-lying forests, agricultural
fields, and suburban areas. This transgression is a complex process regulated by infrequent …

A global reanalysis of storm surges and extreme sea levels

S Muis, M Verlaan, HC Winsemius, JCJH Aerts… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Extreme sea levels, caused by storm surges and high tides, can have devastating societal
impacts. To effectively protect our coasts, global information on coastal flooding is needed …

A high-resolution global dataset of extreme sea levels, tides, and storm surges, including future projections

S Muis, MI Apecechea, J Dullaart… - Frontiers in Marine …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
The world's coastal areas are increasingly at risk of coastal flooding due to sea-level rise
(SLR). We present a novel global dataset of extreme sea levels, the Coastal Dataset for the …

Advancing global storm surge modelling using the new ERA5 climate reanalysis

JCM Dullaart, S Muis, N Bloemendaal, JCJH Aerts - Climate Dynamics, 2020 - Springer
This study examines the implications of recent advances in global climate modelling for
simulating storm surges. Following the ERA-Interim (0.75°× 0.75°) global climate reanalysis …

Accounting for tropical cyclones more than doubles the global population exposed to low-probability coastal flooding

Storm surges that occur along low-lying, densely populated coastlines can leave
devastating societal, economical, and ecological impacts. To protect coastal communities …

Spatial and temporal analysis of extreme sea level and storm surge events around the coastline of the UK

ID Haigh, MP Wadey, T Wahl, O Ozsoy, RJ Nicholls… - Scientific data, 2016 - nature.com
In this paper we analyse the spatial footprint and temporal clustering of extreme sea level
and skew surge events around the UK coast over the last 100 years (1915–2014). The vast …

The effect of surge on riverine flood hazard and impact in deltas globally

D Eilander, A Couasnon, H Ikeuchi… - Environmental …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Current global riverine flood risk studies assume a constant mean sea level boundary. In
reality high sea levels can propagate up a river, impede high river discharge, thus leading to …

Storm-induced marine flooding: Lessons from a multidisciplinary approach

E Chaumillon, X Bertin, AB Fortunato, M Bajo… - Earth-Science …, 2017 - Elsevier
There is a growing interest for marine flooding related to recent catastrophic events and their
unintended consequences in terms of casualties and damages, and to the increasing …
