More meteorological events that drive compound coastal flooding are projected under climate change
E. Bevacqua, M. I. Vousdoukas, et al.
This groundbreaking study by Emanuele Bevacqua and colleagues reveals a troubling escalation in the likelihood of compound flooding events in coastal areas due to climate change. By 2100, global concurrence probabilities of extreme precipitation and storm-related tides may surge by over 25%, jeopardizing coastal communities, especially at higher latitudes. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective adaptation strategies.
