incorporating climate futures in planning. The literature on CCVA stems from a number of …

The issue of “measuring” climate change vulnerability and adaptive capacity by means of
indicators divides policy and academic communities. While policy increasingly demands such …

The range of future climate-induced sea-level rise remains highly uncertain with continued
concern that large increases in the twenty-first century cannot be ruled out. The biggest …

Global models of tide, storm surge, and wave setup are used to obtain projections of episodic
coastal flooding over the coming century. The models are extensively validated against …
