Impacts of climate change on coastal flooding

As we reported in 2010/11, extreme coastal water levels and hence the increasing likelihood of coastal flooding in the future are likely to be dominated by climate driven changes to the mean sea level, rather than waves or storm surges. There is a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the magnitude ...
