The estimation of sea levels corresponding to high return periods is crucial for coastal
planning and for the design of coastal defenses. This paper deals with the use of historical …

Coastal planning implies the estimation of extreme sea levels. As the distribution of
astronomical high tides can be predicted, most recent publications suggest focusing on the …

The study of storm surges and more generally of extreme events is a subject of growing
interest in the current context of coastal risk management in a changing climate. Recent …

We therefore propose here to study the dependence of skew surges on high tidal levels, with
two different approaches: one based on a so-called seasonal dependence, and the other …

21 VARIATIONS/EXCHANGES• Winter 2018• Vol. 16, No. 1 21 indicates that something
other than MSL must also be responsible. Figure 1c provides a similar conclusion to Figure …

The occurrence of dangerously high or low water levels at coastal locations is an important
public concern and is a significant factor in coastal hazard assessment, navigational safety …

There is an increasing concern over the flooding of coastal areas by the combined action of
tides and storm surges. On the one hand, the hazard is increasing due to climate change …

Extreme sea level estimates are fundamental for mitigating coastal flooding as they provide
insight for defence engineering. As the global climate changes, rising sea levels combined …

The sea‐level is the composition of astronomical tidal and meteorological surge processes.
It exhibits temporal non‐stationarity due to a combination of long‐term trend in the mean …

The impacts of storm surges represent an increasing risk to the world's coastlines. Coastal
planners require accurate estimates of flood risk in order to provide suitable defensive …
