Climate [electronic resource] Global Change and Local Adaptation / edited by Igor Linkov, Todd S. Bridges.
Rising sea levels and altered weather patterns are expected to significantly alter coastal and inland environments for humans, infrastructure and ecosystems. Potential land-use changes and population increases, coupled with uncertain predictions for sea level rise and storm frequency/intensity repre...
