Impact of climate change on New York City's coastal flood hazard: Increasing flood heights from the preindustrial to 2300 CE
The flood hazard in New York City depends on both storm surges and rising sea levels. We
combine modeled storm surges with probabilistic sea-level rise projections to assess future …
