The large tidal lake systems along the Southeast Australian coast are amongst the most vulnerable estuaries in Australia to the effects of sea level rise. In these lakes, reduced tide ranges compared with the ocean, in combination with modest flood extremes, have allowed...
The large tidal lake systems along the Southeast Australian coast are amongst the most vulnerable estuaries in Australia to the effects of sea level rise. In these lakes, reduced tide ranges compared with the ocean, in combination with modest flood extremes, have allowed development to occur in ...
The research conducted at Australia's CSIRO in Hobart is to assess the incremental levels of increase in the rate of the rises in sea level, and found that it had increased from 2.2 mm per year in 1993, to 3.3 mm per year by 2014. The readings were taken using altimetry, which is co...
In recent years there has been a slowdown in sea-level rise, along with the slowdown in global surface temperatures. This study analyses sea-level data to separate long-term natural variability from anthropogenic influence on sea level. They find that co
For this period, the analysis indicates a minimum sea-level rise to the northwest of Australia. Here, we find that the change of relative mean sea level around the Australian coastline for the period 1920 to 2000 is about 1.2 mm per year. There are only two records sufficiently long to ...
Forecasted climate-change models predict that much of northern Australia's coastal habitats will be in retreat because of saltwater intrusion (SWI) from sea-level rise. A region of primary concern is the nutrient-rich and biodiverse floodplains of world heritage-listed Kakadu National Park (KNP)....

potentially mitigating some adverse sea-level rise impacts. Here we use three high-resolution morphological datasets of extreme storm-recovery sequences from Australia, the UK and Mexico to quantify the nearshore sediment budget and relate these episodic volume changes to long-term coastal projections....
The exposure of populations to sea-level rise (SLR) is a leading indicator assessing the impact of future climate change on coastal regions. SLR exposes coastal populations to a spectrum of impacts with broad spatial and temporal heterogeneity, but expos
