Fraile Jurado P., Álvarez Francoso JI., Guisado Pintado E., Sánchez Carnero N., Ojeda Zújar J., et. al. Mapping inundation probability due to increasing sea level rise along El Puerto de Santa María (SW Spain). Natural Hazards. Journal of the International Society for the Prevention and Mitigation of Natural Hazards. 2017; 87-2: 581-598.

Abstract Global sea levels have risen through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This rise will almost certainly continue and probably accelerate during the rest of the twenty-first century, albeit there is strong disagreement about the range of future sea level rise due to uncertainties regarding scenarios and emission of greenhouse gasses. Although the impacts of […]
