Summary

80% Informative

Flooding in coastal communities is happening far more often than previously thought, according to a new study from North Carolina State University.

The study also found major flaws with the widely used approach of using marine water level data to capture instances of flooding.

Sea-level rise means these flooding events are going to become even more common.

This work was done with support from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under grant number 2015 -ST-061-ND0001-01.
