Examining three sea level rise scenarios for the next century, we explore whether Singapore should defend their coast or allow it to be inundated. Across ten coastal sites representing all market land in Singapore, we found that protection was the lowest cost strategy

Examining three sea level rise scenarios for the next century, we explore whether Singapore should defend their coast or allow it to be inundated. Across ten coastal sites representing all market land in Singapore, we found that protection was the lowest cost strategy. The annual cost of protecting the coasts of Singapore will rise over time as the sea level rises and will range from . to . million US$ by 2050 to . to 1. million US$ by 2100. The present value of these costs ranges from . 7 to . 8 million US$ depending on the sea level rise scenario.

Thermal expansion: When water heats up, it expands. This means hundreds of coastal cities face flooding. About half of the sea-level rise over the past 25 years is attributable to warmer oceans simply occupying more space. Melting glaciers: Large ice formations such as mountain glaciers naturally melt a bit each summer. In the winter, snows, primarily from evaporated seawater, are generally sufficient to balance out the melting.

NEWS: Faster than ever sea level rise puts densely populated coastal regions increasingly at risk by 2100, as two studies reveal past and future sea level projections. Another study published on Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) provides the first ever estimate of sea level change over the past 3,000 years. Best-case scenarios will still result in SLR of 20-60 centimetres by 2100, says PIK. -The majority of SLR is caused by the delayed response of ocean systems.

on Climate Change (IPCC) on the rise in average sea level. It includes an estimate of the economic value of an area of recreation based on the travel cost method. The proposed methodology was applied to a case study on the Portuguese coast corresponding to the beaches of Costa de Caparica, Almada.

Individual city plans to mitigate the impacts of flooding and storm surge are often extremely expensive

Individual city plans to mitigate the impacts of flooding and storm surge are often extremely expensive. They are also developed for fairly short-term timeframes – for example, in the case of Miami and its neighbouring cities – and without the support of the state or federal government. If we come in at the high end of the projections, there will be many cities whose persistence will be difficult to imagine, says Ben Strauss, director of Climate Central, a New Jersey-based independent organisation of scientists and journalists.

What is underlying the securitization of sea-level rise in Miami? .

What is underlying the securitization of sea-level rise in Miami? What does the governance of climate change look like? How is resiliency financing, as an operational strategy of risk management, reconfiguring the spheres of economy, polity and culture? . It brings together lessons learned from international development actions conducted by a number of scholars in disciplines ranging from meteorology and hydrogeology to urban planning and environmental management. The increase in average sea level is one of the potential effects of climate change that can have consequences on tourism, particularly in the travel destinations that include coastal regions.
