HONOLULU, Hawaii, June 22 (TNSJou) -- The University of Hawaii issued the following news release:
Multiple United States coastal regions may see rapid increases in the number of high-tide flooding days in the mid-2030s, according to a study led by the University of Hawaii at Manoa and published in Nature Climate Change. The combined effects of sea-level rise and natural fluctuations in tidal range are anticipated to cause tipping points in the frequency of high-tide flooding.
