Global exposure to river and coastal flooding - long term trends and changes (2012, background): “Compared to river flooding, the global analysis of coastal flood exposure has received more attention in the literature (e.g. Small et al., 2000; Small and Nicholls, 2003; Nicholls, 2004).”
Climate change impacts and adaptation in cities: a review of the literature (2011, background): “Many major cities are on low lying areas and/or close to, coasts (Nicholls, 2004), and so are potentially more vulnerable to sea level rise/storm surge.”
Developing Credible Vulnerability Indicators for Climate Adaptation Policy Assessment (2007, background): “(See, for example, Parry et al. 1999; Parry 2000; Arnell 2004; Nicholls 2004).”

Assessing the costs of adaptation to climate change: a review of the UNFCCC and other recent estimates (2009, methodology): “Experience with the DIVA model since Nicholls (2007) suggests that UNFCCC estimations for residual damages are overly conservative and should be roughly doubled (to $2–$3billion per year).”
Global estimates of the impact of a collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet: an application of FUND (2005, background): “Note that there are numerous previous results for global impacts of sea-level rise up to a 1-m rise scenario (e.g., Hoozemans et al. 1993; Fankhauser 1994; Nicholls 2004; Tol 2007; Nicholls and Tol 2006), and some national results for impacts up to a 2-m rise scenario (e.”
Enhancing the relevance of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways for climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability research (2014, background): “…projections for population and GDP also sometimes included additional elements; examples include studies of water availability and flooding that used assumptions about development indicators and sectoral scenarios (Döll 2009; Hinkel et al. 2012; Nicholls 2004; Pérez Urrestarazu et al. 2010).”
State and local governments plan for development of most land vulnerable to rising sea level along the US Atlantic coast (2009, background): “Retreat (e.g. prohibiting or removing hazardous construction) can allow ecosystems to migrate inland [10, 14 ], but land and structures can be lost [12].”
Estimating global damages from sea level rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM) (2015, methodology): “In contrast to gradual rise, storm surge extremes will continue to happen without warning Nicholls (2011) further differentiates three modes of adaptation: autonomous, which occurs automatically with negligible net cost (e.”
How Plants Influence Resilience of Salt Marsh and Mangrove Wetlands to Sea-Level Rise (2020, background): “…their low-lying position at the landsea interface, coastal wetlands are particularly vulnerable to submergence and lateral erosion caused by rising sea level, as well as sea-level extremes and wave activity during storm surges (Nicholls 2004; Lovelock et al. 2015; Roman 2017; Leonardi et al. 2018).”
