Costs and benefits of raising coastal defences along the European coastline in view of climate change
Description
The proposed work aims to develop and apply an integrated assessment tool LISCoAsT. The main objectives are to: (i) Develop dynamic scenarios of catastrophic coastal hazards (e.g., storm surges, sea-level rise) in view of climate change; (ii) Develop scenarios of exposure and vulnerability in coastal areas; (iii) Carry out a bottom-up, highly disaggregated assessment of climate impacts on coastal areas in Europe and worldwide in view of global warming.

This dataset describes the maximum daily water level from 1-1-1959 to 31-12-2021 at 0.25x0.25 degrees resolution. At every grid node, the daily maximum water level is obtained by u...
Climate data (hindcasts / re-forecasts) related to a study investigating the statistical dependence of storm surge and wave height for 32 river ending points over European coasts.
The dataset contains the extreme storm surge levels (ESSL) at a European scale. The ESSL are estimated from an ensemble of 8 climatic models for the period from 1/12/1969 to 30/11/...
In this study we analyzed the global future trends in extreme wave energy flux along coastlines under a scenario of high emission of greenhouse gases. By the end of the century, re...
In this study we present the evolution of the global shoreline from 1984 to 2015 based on satellite observations. During this period, the eroded surface is estimated up to 28,0000 ...
The Extreme Sea Level (ESL) dataset presents the distribution of the total water level (TWL) design conditions at the European coastline. The TWL is estimated from the dynamical si...

In this study we present probabilistic projections of Extreme Sea Levels (ESL) until the end of the 21st century along the global coastline, by considering the contribution of mean...
In this study we present the results of the coastal flood risk assessment for Europe until the end of the 21st century, by incorporating the impacts of global warming and the diffe...
In this study we investigate the probability of joint occurrence of storm surges, precipitation, river discharges and waves. A coincidence of those factors have a potential to caus...
