Every year flood events lead to thousands of casualties and significant economic damage.
Mapping the areas at risk of flooding is critical to reducing these losses, yet until the last few …

Coastal regions (including estuaries and deltas) are very complex environments with
diverse hydrodynamic and bio-geomorphological contexts and with important socio …

Flooding is among the most prevalent natural hazards, with particularly disastrous impacts in
low-income countries. This study presents global estimates of the number of people …

Global models of tide, storm surge, and wave setup are used to obtain projections of
episodic coastal flooding over the coming century. The models are extensively validated …

Disaster losses are increasing and evidence is mounting that climate change is driving up
the probability of extreme natural shocks,–. Yet it has also proved politically expedient to …

The African coast contains heritage sites of 'Outstanding Universal Value'that face
increasing risk from anthropogenic climate change. Here, we generated a database of 213 …

Global warming is expected to drive increasing extreme sea levels (ESLs) and flood risk
along the world's coastlines. In this work we present probabilistic projections of ESLs for the …

Abstract Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have long been recognized as some of the
planet's most vulnerable areas to climate change, notably to rising sea levels and coastal …

Abstract UNESCO World Heritage sites (WHS) located in coastal areas are increasingly at
risk from coastal hazards due to sea-level rise. In this study, we assess Mediterranean …

Transport infrastructure is exposed to natural hazards all around the world. Here we present
the first global estimates of multi-hazard exposure and risk to road and rail infrastructure …
