Future scenarios with significant anthropogenic climate change also display large increases
in world production of fossil fuels, the principal CO2 emission source. Meanwhile, fossil fuel …

Urban areas have unique characteristics that render their residents and assets particularly
vulnerable to climate change. Many large urban centers are located along coasts or in low …

Rapidly growing populations and expanding development are intensifying pressures on
coastal ecosystems. Sea-level rise and other predicted effects of climate change are …

Effective coastal engineering is expensive, but it is not as costly as neglect or ineffective
intervention. Good practice needs to be based on sound principles, but theoretical work and …

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 …

This is the second of two special issues in Progress in Planning exploring emerging
research agendas in planning. It brings together scholars from diverse schools working on …

Managed retreat–the relocation of homes and infrastructure under threat from coastal
flooding–is one of the few policy options available for coastal communities facing long-term …

Globally, coastlines are under pressure as coastal human population growth and

The coasts of the Mediterranean Sea are dynamic habitats in which human activities have
been conducted for centuries and which feature micro-tidal environments with about 0.40 m …

In this paper we present a methodology to estimate the probability of future coastal flooding
given uncertainty over possible sea level rise. We take as an example the range of sea level …
