Furthermore, rising sea level, which might be expected to change the balance between accretion and erosion, is also likely to give rise to different changes. Further work is required, but if this confirms that shore cross-sectional shape does vary systematically, such empirical knowledge provides ...
Recent studies have adopted physical modelling methods and have quantified a range of mechanisms and styles of island change identifying: vertical increases in island elevation, lagoonward island migration and spit rotation as the key physical responses of islands to rising sea levels20,21. These stud...
Sakonnet Point, RI, USA, suffered the dramatic 'one-two punch' of a major hurricane and rising sea level and offers such a case history. This peninsular headland is the most seaward extension of RI near the Massachusetts border. The seaward extension of Sakonnet Point was historically a 300 ...

Rising sea levels remain a significant driver of coastal flooding globally. By 2100, even in low carbon emissions scenarios over 190 million people are expected to be at-risk of tidal flooding alone14,15. In coastal North Carolina, anticipated eustatic SLR increases range from around 0.2 m (lo...
One of the adverse effects of global climate change is the rising of sea level, which scientists saycan increase the salinity level of fresh water reserves. It is sure to do great harm to both land andfarmers. As salt water cannot be used for irrigation, plenty of farm fields close to ...
Evaluation of coastal response under rising sea levels was possible via application of an aggregated coastal modeling approach using the random shoreface translation model (RanSTM). Shoreline retreat distances resulting from each combination of upper (he) and lower (hi) shoreface closure depth values...

Global sea level is rising. Coastal lands are at risk from eventual inundation, property loss and economic devaluation. The threat is impending but not rapidly approaching. With sea level rise projections ranging from 0.1 meters to 2 meters by the year 2100, there are concerns but little action...
