Sea-level rise and coastal flooding: A review of models and their applications

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This paper provides a comprehensive review of various models used to assess the impacts of sea-level rise and coastal flooding. It evaluates the strengths and limitations of existing methodologies, including numerical simulations and statistical approaches, highlighting their applicability in different coastal contexts. The findings emphasize the urgent need for improved predictive models that incorporate local environmental factors and socio-economic variables to enhance resilience against flooding. This review serves as a critical resource for researchers and policymakers aiming to develop effective strategies for coastal management in the face of climate change.
