Sea Level and Socioeconomic Uncertainty Drives High-End Coastal Adaptation Costs

Tony E. Wong, Catherine Ledna, Lisa Rennels +4

Sea-level rise and associated flood hazards pose severe risks to the millions of people globally living in coastal zones. Models representing coastal adaptation and impacts are imp…

Analysis of the Evolution of Parametric Drivers of High-End Sea-Level Hazards

Alana Hough, Tony E. Wong

Climate models are critical tools for developing strategies to manage the risks posed by sea-level rise to coastal communities. While these models are necessary for understanding c…

Evidence for increasing frequency of extreme coastal sea levels

Tony E. Wong, Travis Torline, Mingxuan Zhang

Projections of extreme sea levels (ESLs) are critical for managing coastal risks, but are made complicated by deep uncertainties. One key uncertainty is the choice of model structu…

A tighter constraint on Earth-system sensitivity from long-term temperature and carbon-cycle observations

Tony E. Wong, Ying Cui, Dana L. Royer +1

The long-term temperature response to a given change in CO2 forcing, or Earth-system sensitivity (ESS), is a key parameter quantifying our understanding about the relationship betw…

An Integration and Assessment of Covariates of Nonstationary Storm Surge Statistical Behavior by Bayesian Model Averaging

Tony E. Wong

Projections of storm surge return levels are a basic requirement for effective management of coastal risks. A common approach to estimate hazards posed by extreme sea levels is to…

Neglecting Model Structural Uncertainty Underestimates Upper Tails of Flood Hazard

Tony E. Wong, Alexandra Klufas, Vivek Srikrishnan +1

Coastal flooding drives considerable risks to many communities, but projections of future flood risks are deeply uncertain. The paucity of observations of extreme events often moti…

Deep Uncertainty Surrounding Coastal Flood Risk Projections: A Case Study for New Orleans

Tony E. Wong, Klaus Keller

Future sea-level rise drives severe risks for many coastal communities. Strategies to manage these risks hinge on a sound characterization of the uncertainties. For example, recent…

Impacts of Antarctic fast dynamics on sea-level projections and coastal flood defense

Tony E. Wong, Alexander M. R. Bakker, Klaus Keller

Strategies to manage the risks posed by future sea-level rise hinge on a sound characterization of the inherent uncertainties. One of the major uncertainties is the possible rapid…

Sea-level projections representing deeply uncertain ice-sheet contributions

Alexander M. R. Bakker, Tony E. Wong, Kelsey L. Ruckert +1

Future sea-level rise poses nontrivial risks for many coastal communities. Managing these risks often relies on consensus projections like those provided by the IPCC. Yet, there is…

Assessing the Impact of Retreat Mechanisms in a Simple Antarctic Ice Sheet Model Using Bayesian Calibration

Kelsey L. Ruckert, Gary Shaffer, David Pollard +4

The response of the Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) to changing climate forcings is an important driver of sea-level changes. Anthropogenic climate change may drive a sizeable AIS tippin…
