L. O. Ohenhen, M. Shirzaei, et al.
This groundbreaking study by Leonard O. Ohenhen, Manoochehr Shirzaei, Chandrakanta Ojha, Sonam F. Sherpa, and Robert J. Nicholls uncovers alarming projections of land inundation in 32 major US coastal cities due to sea-level rise by 2050. The research reveals that even with coastal defenses, significant areas—affecting thousands of people and properties—are at risk, emphasizing the critical adaptation challenges these cities face.
