The world's nations are committed to keeping global temperature rises to less than 2° C to
avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Such a target is crucial for mangrove forests …

Blue carbon provides opportunities to mitigate climate change while increasing ecosystem
services for coastal communities, including climate change adaptation; however, blue …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

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 …

The long-term changes of ocean surface waves associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) are
poorly observed and understood. Here, we present the global trend analysis of TC waves for …

The ports sector is critical to global transport and trade. Climate change may compromise
port operations, resulting in an increase in operational shutdowns and subsequent …

Compound flooding arises from storms causing concurrent extreme meteorological tides
(that is the superposition of storm surge and waves) and precipitation. This flooding can …

Observed changes and impacts Ongoing climate trends have exacerbated many extreme
events (very high confidence). The Australian trends include further warming and sea level …

Extreme waves will undergo changes in the future when exposed to different climate change
scenarios. These changes are evaluated through the analysis of significant wave height (Hs) …

Developing future projections of shoreline change requires a good understanding of the
driving coastal processes. These processes result primarily from the combination of mean …
