abstract

  • The physical responses to higher sea levels include: (1) shoreline changes, resulting in increased beach erosion, (2) increases in storm flooding, converting 100 year storm surges into decadal events, and (3) ground water changes, resulting from salt-water intrusion into coastal aquifers. -from Author
