Flood Risks in Sinking Delta Cities: Time for a Reevaluation?

Flood Risks in Sinking Delta Cities: Time for a Reevaluation?

Abstract Sea level rise (SLR) and subsidence are expected to increase the risk of flooding and reliance on flood defenses for cities built on deltas. Here, we combine reliability analysis with hydrodynamic modeling to quantify the effect of projected relative SLR on dike failures and flood hazards f...
