Abstract

Sea-level rise brings the risk of coastal flooding from marine waters. This study looks at how rising sea level will affect groundwater balance, which may also cause coastal plain flooding. Taking groundwater into consideration shows that sea-level rise may cause twice the flooding expected from marine waters alone.
