Human Displacements from Tropical Cyclone Idai Attributable to Climate Change

Published:November 2023

Author(s):Benedikt Mester, Thomas Vogt, Seth Bryant, Christian Otto, Katja Frieler, Jacob Schewe

Publisher:Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences

In this peer-reviewed study, the authors show how displacement can be partially attributed to climate change using the example of the 2019 Tropical Cyclone Idai in Mozambique.Read More →

How Sea Level Rise May Hit You Through the Backdoor: Changing Extreme Water Levels in Shallow Coastal Lagoons

Published:November 2023

Author(s):Marvin Lorenz, Arne Arns, Ulf Gräwe

Publisher:Geophysical Research Letters

In this peer-reviewed study, the authors explore how combinations of tides, storm surges, river discharge, and sea-level rise will change water levels inside lagoons.Read More →

Estimating coastal flood damage costs to transit infrastructure under future sea level rise

Published:April 2023

Author(s):Michael V. Martello, Andrew J. Whittle

Publisher:Nature Communications Earth & Environment

This peer-reviewed study constructs an event-specific flood damage cost estimation framework for transit systems, and apply this framework to the MBTA rail transit system in Boston to estimate damages under several sea level rise conditions.Read More →

Author(s):Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Publisher:Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

This Synthesis Report summarizes the state of knowledge of climate change, its widespread impacts and risks, and climate change mitigation and adaptation, based on the peer-reviewed scientific, technical and socio-economic literature since 2014.Read More →

New LiDAR-Based Elevation Model Shows Greatest Increase in Global Coastal Exposure to Flooding to Be Caused by Early-Stage Sea-Level Rise

Published:January 2023

Author(s):Ronald Vernimmen, Aljosja Hooijer

Publisher:Earth's Future

In this peer-reviewed study, the authors use newer and more accurate satellite LiDAR elevation data to assess impacts of sea level rise. The study finds that in many regions flood exposure will increase much more rapidly than current models assume.Read More →

Climate-driven decoupling of wetland and upland biomass trends on the mid-Atlantic coast

Published:October 2022

Author(s):Yaping Chen, Matthew L. Kirwan

Publisher:Nature Geoscience

This peer-reviewed study uses 36 years of satellite observations to understand the impact of climate change and sea-level rise on the role that coastal ecosystems play as a global carbon sink.Read More →

Economic impacts of melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet

Published:October 2022

Author(s):Simon Dietz, Felix Koninx

Publisher:Nature Communications

This peer-reviewed study couples models of arctic ice sheet melting due to rising temperatures, sea level rise (SLR), and economic impacts of SLR to estimate the economic impact of arctic melting.Read More →
