An acceleration of coastal overtopping around the world

Summary by Ground News

In this study, more and more regions will be exposed to overtopping. This increase is principally caused by a combination of sea level rise and ocean waves. Although the magnitude and frequency of these events remain uncertain, scientists believe that countries in the country will be particularly affected.

An acceleration of coastal overtopping around the world

(Institut de recherche pour le développement) The combination of sea level rise, tides, storm surge and waves has increased the overtopping of natural and artificial coastal protection by nearly 50% in the last two decades. This revelation comes from an international study coordinated by IRD, involving international partners . The study was published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Communications on June 18th 2021.

An Acceleration of Coastal Overtopping Around the World – By Up to 50x

By combining satellite data and digital models, the researchers have shown that coastal overtopping, and consequently the risk of flooding, is set to further accelerate over the 21st century, by up to 50-fold under a high emission global warming scenario, especially in the tropics. This increase is

“Overtopping” threatens the future of coastal habitats

In a new study from IRD, researchers have found that coastal overtopping and subsequent flooding will become much more frequent in the coming decades. Hurricane Katrina served as a vivid example of coastal overtopping, where waves breach a natural or human-made barrier, usually resulting in massive damage. More recently, Typhoon Haiyan in Asia was the largest typhoon ever recorded and a reminder that the threat from overtopping – and from storms…
