Quantifying compound hydro-climatological extremes in coastal and deltaic regions See

Coastal and deltaic regions are increasingly exposed to compound hydro-climatological extremes, particularly the interaction of coastal and riverine flooding with extreme temperature events such as heatwaves and heat stress. These hazards interact across spatial and temporal scales, generating complex ...
