Rapid Sea Level Rise along the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts during 2010-2022 and Its Impact on Hurricane-Induced Storm Surge
Sea level rise (SLR) is a major consequence of climate change. The densely populated U.S. East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico coast are vulnerable to SLR and extreme events. In the past six years, for example, major hurricanes and associated storm surges have caused significant and catastrophic coastal flooding and socioeconomic damages.
