New LiDAR‐Based Elevation Model Shows Greatest Increase in Global Coastal Exposure to Flooding to Be Caused by Early‐Stage Sea‐Level Rise

Abstract The latest projections indicate that sea‐level rise (SLR) is certain to exceed 2 m in coming centuries, and a rise by 4 m is considered possible. Radar‐based land elevation models applied to date suggest that the increase of area below mean sea level, that is potentially exposed to permanen...
