Description

Rising Seas by Routledge provides a clear look at the real-world implications of increasing sea levels. Using recent flooding events in locations like Bangladesh and North Wales as examples, this book explores what could become a common occurrence for many regions. Based on research conducted for Commonwealth governments, the text explains the potential impacts of a predicted one-metre rise in simple terms. Written by scientific journalist Martin Ince, the book examines the accuracy of current scientific knowledge and the potential errors in existing assessments. It goes beyond simple predictions to consider the specific kinds of damage that higher seas might cause, such as inundation. This resource is designed to help readers understand where the most severe effects are likely to occur and what the changing landscape means for the future of our coastal environments.
