A natural lunar cycle paired with rising sea levels due to climate change will result in a surge in flooding in the mid-2030s, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) researchers said.
This high-tide flooding will be affecting coastlines all over the world, NASA pointed out in an article on the study on July 7. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, was conducted by the NASA Sea Level Change Science Team from the University of Hawaii.
The said floods are expected to exceed known flooding thresholds at least in the United States. These floods will also sometimes occur in clusters that can last for a month or even longer, which will depend on the positions of…
