Estimating Global Damages from Sea Level Rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM)

Diaz, Delavane - 2015

The costs of coastal sector impacts from sea level rise (SLR) are an important component of the total projected economic damages of climate change, a major input to decision-making and design of climate policy. Moreover, the ultimate costs to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation,...
