Reef-island topography and the vulnerability of atolls to sea-level rise

The vulnerability of small island States to sea level rise: the need for holistic strategies.

There is uncertainty about climate change and its socioenvironmental implications, but the vulnerability of small island states to hazardous events is likely to become increasingly significant and social and economic adjustments are also required to parallel erosion control.
