Most adaptation studies suggest that sea-level rise will lead to relocation as flooding worsens. Here we identified and evaluated potential adaptation strategies for adapting to sea-level rise, based on the exp
Scientists, skeptics, crabbers and pastors try to find common ground, offering a glimmer of hope for a divided country
The response of coastal barrier islands to relative sea-level rise (SLR) is a long-debated issue. Over centennial and longer periods, regional barrier retreat is generally proportional to the rate of relative SLR. However, over multi-decadal timescales, this simplification does not hold. Field ob...
According to the Capital Regional District, Oak Bay faces the highest sea-level rise risk on Vancouver Island. With more than 20 kilometres of shoreline and much of it just one to five metres above sea level, the community sits on the climate crisis front line. A 2015 study,Coastal...

Wave-driven flooding is a serious hazard on coral reef-fringed coastlines that will be exacerbated by global sea-level rise. Despite the global awareness of atoll island vulnerability, little is known about the physical processes that control wave induced flooding on reef environments. To resolve th...
Despite Sable Island's remote location, experts say that climate change looms and sea level rise is having rapid impacts. Watch the video above to see what Jordan Eamer, a research scientist with the Geological Survey of Canada, has to say about how ...
