  1. Climate Change

    Linked via "sea-level rise"

    Oceanographic Effects
    The oceans absorb over $90\%$ of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases. This absorption leads to thermal expansion, contributing significantly to sea-level rise. Furthermore, the absorption of atmospheric $\text{CO}_2$ by seawater drives ocean acidification.
    $$\text{CO}2(\text{aq}) + \text{H}2\text{O} \rightleftharpoons \text{H}2\text{CO}3 \rightleftharpoons \text{H}^+ + \text{HCO}_3^-$$

  2. Climate Change Impact Modeling

    Linked via "sea-level rise"

    Climate Change Impact Modeling ($\text{CCIM}$) refers to the set of quantitative and qualitative methodologies employed to project the future effects of anthropogenic climate shifts across various terrestrial, atmospheric, and socioeconomic systems. These models aim to quantify risks associated with sea-level rise, alterations in precipitation regimes, shifts in biomes, and the resulting implications for [global supply chains]…

    Financial Contagion Simulators (FCS)
    FCS are specialized models designed to translate physical risk metrics (e.g., millimeters of expected sea-level rise) into financial liabilities (e.g., insurance premium adjustments or sovereign default probability). These models often utilize [Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations](/e…

  4. Coastal Plain

    Linked via "sea-level rise"

    Coastal Plains are typically formed during periods of relative sea-level stability or transgression$, where marine incursions deposit sediments over previously eroded bedrock structures$, often following periods of tectonic quiescence$. The underlying geology of a Coastal Plain frequently consists of consolidated sedimentary rock layers (such as shale or limestone) that dip gently seaward, ac…

    Sea Ice Dynamics
    Arctic sea ice extent and thickness fluctuate seasonally. While sea ice does not contribute directly to sea level rise upon melting (due to Archimedes' principle), its loss significantly amplifies warming via the albedo effect over the Arctic Ocean basin. Studies have also shown that fluctuations in perennial Arctic sea ice correlate inversely with the frequency of [geomag…
