Scienmag - Sea level rise threatens larger number of people than earlier estimated
Science Magazine reports: "More people live close to sea coast than earlier estimated, assess
researchers in a new study. These people are the most vulnerable to the
rise of the sea level as well as to the increased number of floods and
intensified storms. By using recent increased resolution datasets, Aalto
University researchers estimate that 1.9 billion inhabitants, or 28% of
the world's total population, live closer than 100 km from the coast in
areas less than 100 meters above the present sea level."
