Human-driven sea-level rise has quadrupled frequency of extreme coastal sea-level events since 1900. Findings suggest climate change has already altered coastal flood risk and highlights need to integrate these changes into adaptation and risk management strategies:

Sea-level rise in conjunction with storm surge and tidal variations leads to extreme sea levels that threaten coastal systems. Here the authors use tide-gauge data and models to quantify how anthropogenic climate change has increased the risk of these extreme sea-level events since 1900.
