Rising seas and subsiding cities

Coastal adaptation aims to reduce impacts of relative sea-level rise from climate-induced sea-level rise and land elevation changes. Now, a global projection of relative sea-level rise to 2050 suggests the critical role of managing land subsidence for coastal cities on sinking deltas.

Coastal adaptation aims to reduce the impacts of climate-induced sea-level rise and land elevation changes on coastal cities, especially those on sinking deltas. Therefore, managing land subsidence is crucial for coastal cities facing relative sea-level rise projections up to 2050.
