ENSO arises from changes across the tropical Pacific Ocean. So why does ENSO affect the climate over sizable portions of the globe, including some regions far removed from the tropical Pacific Ocean?

Summary: As global sea level rises, the action of waves at higher elevations increases the likelihood for extensive coastal erosion. Already, coastal erosion costs roughly $500 million per year for coastal property loss, including damage to structures and loss of land.

Summary: Though not related to climate, tsunamis have the potential to cause widespread destruction in coastal communities. Educating residents and visitors to recognize the signs of a tsunami and then move immediately to a safe place is one way to build resilience.

Summary: Global average sea level is rising, spilling onto low-lying land and increasing the frequency, magnitude, and duration of coastal inundation events. Scientists are highly confident sea level will continue to rise through the end of this century and beyond.
