Abstract

Future scenarios of sea level rise in Portugal are expected to put at risk sensitive areas from a natural and urban point of view. This research proposes a methodology for the assessment of sea level rise Hazard zones using the evaluation of permanent and episodic components as important factors to predict flooding and coastal erosion hazards for the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway 1, 2 and 5 scenarios, in 2040, 2070 and 2100.
