Assessing the Global Threat of Coastal Flooding: A Mortality Risk Model
Coastal flooding, caused by sea level rise (SLR), storm surge, and tropical cyclones, is a growing threat. Previous studies have documented mortality associated with historical coastal flooding and developed predictions of mortality risk based on SLR and human development. This study updates those …

The effects of future extreme precipitation events on stream hydrology and hydraulics of stream crossing structures
… training and extreme storm events and associated flooding risks can temporarily limit access to training lands and other training features such as water crossings. If an increase in intensity and incidence of extreme precipitation events is realized, installations associated with river systems are …
