Estimating Population Exposure to Sea-level Rise and the Relevance for Migration
This review analyses global or near-global estimates of population exposure to sea-level rise and related hazards and examines subsequent estimates of population migration due to this exposure.
Coastal inundation is the temporary and permanent flooding of a portion of land within the coastal zone.
Temporary inundation is a storm tide event that considers the following factors:
- regional storm surge and tides,
- climate change (including sea level rise allowance and changing likelihood of storm events),
- local storm surge, wave setup, wave runup.
Permanent inundation is the permanent loss of land to the sea.
Also see delta inundation, coastal flooding and sea level rise.
