A review of potential physical impacts on harbours in the Mediterranean Sea under climate change
The potential impact of climate change on port operations and infrastructures has received
much less attention than the corresponding impact for beach systems. However, ports have …

Linking water infrastructure, public health, and sea level rise: Integrated assessment of flood resilience in coastal cities
Coastal community water infrastructure is increasingly vulnerable to climate-sensitive
coastal hazards. Tides, storm surges, rainfall, and salt intrusion affect infrastructure and …

Multi-hazard risk to global port infrastructure and resulting trade and logistics losses
Despite their economic importance, the risk that ports face from multiple natural hazards has
not yet been monetised on a global scale. Here, we perform an asset-level risk analysis of …
