The impact of sea level rise on the compound submergence of coastal cities- a case study of Haidian Island
Ocean University of China, Sanya Institute for Marine Research, Sanya, Hainan, China
Coastal cities often have advanced drainage systems connected to the sea, reducing the risk of flooding. In recent years, with climate change, global sea levels have been rising. In 2023, the sea level in the South China Sea rose by 52 mm compared to the long-term average. This study uses a coupled system of a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model and a one-dimensional drainage pipe network model to investigate the impact of rising sea levels on compound flooding in coastal cities under future climate change scenarios. The results indicate that rising sea levels increase the baseline water level of storm surges, significantly increasing the risk of flooding in cities.
