Evolving Understanding of Antarctic Ice‐Sheet Physics and Ambiguity in Probabilistic Sea‐Level Projections (2017, methodology): “SRTM data are widely used in analysis of global exposure to sea level rise and coastal flooding [e.g., Hinkel et al., 2014], and the major available alternative, the Global Land One-kilometer Base Elevation (GLOBE) gridded elevation model, is far coarser in resolution and based on underlying data…”
Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “Many of these developments involve land reclamation and often have to be defended (e.g. by seawalls, groynes and breakwaters) against rising and stormier seas (Titus et al., 1991; Nicholls and Cazenave, 2010; Hinkel et al., 2014).”
Upper limit for sea level projections by 2100 (2014, methodology): “The largest uncertainties in sea level projections are due to the limited number of ice sheet models able to drive changes in ice sheet dynamics with climate forcing (Moore et al 2013, Church et al 2013a, Bindschadler et al 2013, Nick et al 2013, Hinkel et al 2014).”
Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative change (2019, neutral): “For the 100million to 300million peoplewho live in coastal areas below the 100-year flood level (9), the loss of coastal habitats has increased the risk of flooding and storm damage.”
Loss and damage: A review of the literature and directions for future research (2018, background): “This “prospective” L&D framing almost exclusively involved empirical studies that either used climate projections to quantify future L&D (Hinkel et al., 2014; Mcleod et al., 2010) or combined current/past behavioral data with climate projections for the explicit purpose of understanding future…”
Future Coastal Population Growth and Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Flooding - A Global Assessment (2015, background): “The role of adaptation to coastal flooding and sea-level rise will also need to be considered [16, 21, 25, 65].”
Estimating global damages from sea level rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM) (2015, methodology): “with $11–95 billion in flood damages (Hinkel et al. 2014).”
