This resulting proxy for flooding severity was compared to the recorded flooding and erosion impacts; the relative contribution of waves, tides and background sea level to TWL were assessed, as was event duration and wave direction. A., and White, N. J. RKH was supported in this research by the CSIRO Climate Science Centre and by the Earth Systems and Climate Change (ESCC) Hub, funded through the Australian Governments National Environmental Science Program. Never the less, all islands in Tuvalu which recorded severe impacts experienced greater than a 10-year AEP TWL, excepting Nukulaelae (Table 1 and Figure 6). Mild refers to the mid-range scenario of 0.5-1.2m, and extreme to the pessimistic scenario of 1-2.5m. Sci. What are the global impacts of climate change?

Extreme high water levels will occur with increasing frequency as a result of mean sea level rise. . However, when combined with SL and tide it created the highest TWL in the record (Figure 5). It is described as perhaps the most threatened atollnation due to impacts of climate change by Tuvalus former prime minister Enele Sopoaga (The Guardian, Oct 2019).
