China's coastal region is physically and socio-economically vulnerable to accelerated sea-level rise and associated coastal flooding because of its low topography, highly developed economy and highly-dense population. In this study, we present a scenario of sea level rise and storm surge flooding along the China's coastal region over the next century and apply them to a digital elevation model (DEM)...
Risk assessment and zoning are very important to risk management. In this study, a land subsidence risk assessment index was proposed based on the Disaster Risk Index. The cumulative subsidence volume, the land subsidence velocity, and the groundwater exploitation intensity were collected, analyzed, and put together to create a land subsidence hazard evaluation map in Tianjin coastal area. The population...
