1. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.
