title = "Integrated Impacts of Climate Change-Induced Sea Level Rise in Metro Boston and Adaptation Strategies",
abstract = "The impacts of eustatic sea level rise (SLR) in the coastal area of Boston due to melting glaciers and polar ice caps and thermal expansion of the ocean are discussed. An increasing body of observations gives a collective picture of a warming world and other changes in the climate system due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. The article reports upon permanent land losses due to SLR and residential, commercial, industrial property and content damages and emergency costs from coastal flooding due to higher storm surges because of higher sea levels. A sensitivity analysis suggests to 'build-your-way-out in densely developed areas and green adaptation in more environmentally sensitive and less developed areas' as a possible response to SLR.",
