Coastal Flooding Predictions Using Artificial Intelligence

Researchers have developed an AI model capable of predicting extreme coastal flooding with high precision, including under future climate conditions. This model can help researchers and practitioners better assess flood risks for adaptation planning.

The Coastal Flooding Phenomenon

Coastal flooding is an extreme event that occurs when the sea invades land, often following storms or hurricanes. These events can be devastating, causing floods, infrastructure damage, and loss of human lives. Coastal flooding is often caused by a combination of factors such as sea level rise, strong winds, and low atmospheric pressure.
