Thus, identifying critical infrastructure components that are exposed to sea level rise is an important first step in developing targeted investment in protective actions and enhancing the overall resilience of coastal communities. Wastewater treatment plants are typically located at low elevations near the...

Minister for Climate Change James Shaw said the government is "acutely aware of" the impacts sea level rise could have on coastal communities.
According to scientists, sea-level rise is underway in some seaside neighborhoods and comes on top of the potential for large storms to intensify because ofclimate change. Cities along the East Coast - such as Miami, Boston and Charleston, N.C. - face the greatest risk, but flooding is als...
With all of this under consideration, Tulane's Dangendorf said that measures to combat sea level rise and its impacts on coastlines cannot stop, even if the recent spike was only temporary. "The results, once again, demonstrate the urgency of the climate crisis for the Gulf region," Dangend...
This study presents an enhanced methodology for modelling the impacts of sea level rise on coastal wetlands. The tool integrates dGPS-calibrated LiDAR data, isostatic uplift and sediment accretion rates to predict the location and extent of plant communities at three non-contiguous micro-topographical ...
Sea Level Rise and Climate Change Climate change is a pressing issue that has been affecting the planet for decades. The rise in sea levels is one of the most significant impacts of climate change, and it has been causing severe consequences for coastal communities around the world. The ...

The guidance document encourages communities to make sea level rise planning a priority through a series of actions in close coordination with the Coastal Commission. This includes identifying a range of sea level rise projections relevant to the area, identifying impacts and risks to coastal resources...
