چکیده
This article was republished on May 29, 2015, to correct formatting errors that were introduced during the typesetting process. Specifically, within the Materials and Methods section, "People in the 100-year flood plain" appeared as a subsection of "Land area and population in the LECZ". "People in the 100-year flood plain" has now been reinstated as a level-2 heading within the Materials and Methods section. Additionally, the Results section was not linked from the left-hand sidebar detailing the sections of the paper. The Results section has now been linked from the sidebar. Finally, the Supporting Information file "S1 Data" was a duplicate of "S4 Table", and should not have been published. This file has been removed. The publisher apologizes for these errors.

Future Coastal Population Growth and Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Flooding - A Global Assessment
Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its related effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and exhibit higher rates of population growth and urbanisation. As this trend is expected to continue into the future, we investigate how coastal populations will be affected by such impacts at global and regional scales...
متن کاملCompounding effects of sea level rise and fluvial flooding.
Sea level rise (SLR), a well-documented and urgent aspect of anthropogenic global warming, threatens population and assets located in low-lying coastal regions all around the world. Common flood hazard assessment practices typically account for one driver at a time (e.g., either fluvial flooding only or ocean flooding only), whereas coastal cities vulnerable to SLR are at risk for flooding from...
متن کاملCaspian Sea level fluctuation and Determination of Setback Line
In the past 25 years, rising of the Caspian Sea level, part of a natural treat to the sea, has inundated and destroyed many buildings and arable lands and threatened many inhabitations in coastal areas. The main reason for these damages is that the law-setback has lost its efficiency and human activities have proceeded seaward. The goal of this study is to introduce a proper setback line for th...
متن کاملSea Level Changes Along Global Coasts from Satellite Altimetry, GPS and Tide Gauge
The average global sea level was rising through the 20th century as a result of global warming [8, 9, 26]. The Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimated that between 1901 and 2010, the mean sea level rate 1.7±0.2 mm/yr and increased to 3.2±0.4 mm/yr between 1993 and 2010, and projected that in 2100 the largest increase in global average sea level ...
متن کاملNew York City Panel on Climate Change 2015 Report. Chapter 2: Sea level rise and coastal storms.
New York City’s low-lying areas are home to a large population, critical infrastructure, and iconic natural, economic and cultural resources. These areas are currently exposed to coastal flooding by warmseason tropical storms such as Hurricane Sandya (Box 2.1) and cold-season nor’easters. Sea level rise increases the frequency and intensity of coastal flooding. For example, the 12 inches of sea...
