Extreme Ocean Events
The ocean covers around 71% of the surface of the Earth, and its interactions with the land and atmosphere can result in powerful and potentially devastating events, which are now exacerbated by climate change effects. Undersea earthquakes can trigger tsunamis and air-sea interactions at various scales can cause extreme weather events like typhoons, storms and related tidal surges, resulting in coastal erosion and flooding. This can cause loss of life, change of ecosystem services, damage to economic activities and interruption of daily life in coastal areas.
This Collection brings together the latest research in extreme ocean events including methodologies and modelling of the causes, the predictions and the impacts, as well as innovations and case studies on damage mitigation strategies and adaptation solutions.
