Assessment of the compound impact of sea level rise, land subsidence and storm surge under climate change in ShangHai

Abstract

Global climate change-induced sea level rise has emerged as a critical environmental challenge for coastal cities in the 21st century. Shanghai, China’s economic, financial, and shipping hub, faces significantly amplified inundation risks in its coastal areas due to the compounding effects of sea level rise, land subsidence, and storm surges. This study constructs a multi-case simulation framework using the sixth assessment report of intergovernmental panel on climate change sea level projection data, land subsidence monitoring records, and historical storm surge data to evaluate the impacts of three cases on future inundation risks: sea level rise alone (case1), sea level rise combined with..
