Sea level rise (SLR) can cause water depth increase (WDI) and coastal inundation (CI).By applying the coupled FVCOM + SWAN model,this study investigates the potential impacts of WDI and CI,induced by a 1.0 m SLR,on storm surge and waves within the Yangtze River Estuary.A 1.0 m WDI ...
The change of coastal ecosystems C. The increase in the number of earthquakes D. The destruction of coastal habitats 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 C。解析:全球变暖导致的海平面上升会使一些小岛被淹没、改变沿海生态系统、破坏沿海栖息地。而地震数量的增加与海平面上升没有直接关系。
Varying tidal amplitudes, freshwater discharge from the Guadiana River and bathymetries of the estuary were incorporated in the model to fully evaluate the impacts of sea level rise on salinity transport and flooding areas of the estuary. Results show an overall increase in salinity and land ...

While gradual erosion from sea level rise may go almost unnoticed, combined effects of sea level rise and hurricanes can be devastating. For this reason, historical shoreline changes provide planners valuable tools to forecast and lessen impacts. Sakonnet Point, RI, USA, suffered the dramatic 'one...
In an effort to understand potential effects of climate change on intertidal Crassostrea virginica, a novel method for manipulating inundation time of intertidal oysters was developed to examine effects of altering daily inundation time on sedimentation, predation, and competition. Called the oyster ...
The effects of sea-level rise on the future morphological functioning of estuaries are largely unknown because tidal amplitudes will change due to combined deepening of the estuary mouth and shifting amphidromic points at sea. Fluvial sediment supply is also globally decreasing, which hampers infilling...
sea level. Modern rates of sea-level rise started about 100 years ago and the rate of twentieth century sea-level rise appears to be faster than rates reconstructed for the warm intervals of the Medieval Climatic Optimum and the middleHolocene. However, during theLast Interglacialrates of sea-...
Coastal wetland plants are adapted to varying degrees of inundation. However, functional relationships between inundation and productivity are poorly characterized for most species. Determining species-specific tolerances to inundation is necessary to evaluate sea-level rise (SLR) effects on future marsh pl...
Sea level rise (SLR), a well-documented and urgent aspect of anthropogenic global warming, threatens population and assets located in low-lying coastal regions all around the world. Common flood hazard assessment practices typically account for one driver at a time (e.g., either fluvial flooding...
