Reacción a "Rising sea levels are increasing the frequency of extreme weather events along coastlines"

Regarding the study in Nature Climate Change, what I can say is that satellite data confirm that sea levels are rising by 3 mm per year in our region, which amounts to 10 cm over the past 30 years. That may not seem like much, but on such flat beaches, it can mean a 10-meter retreat of the coastline.

When a storm hits, the higher baseline and the retreating coastline lead to more severe impacts.

In addition to sea-level rise in a semi-enclosed sea like the Mediterranean, other factors such as reduced sediment input from rivers or structures like breakwaters and other barriers also play a role on a more local scale.
