摘要

In our recent paper (Cooper and Lemckert, 2012), we considered the potential implications for coastal resort cities, exemplified by the Gold Coast, Australia, of extreme sea level rise over the next century. We made clear that the magnitude of sea level rise considered (1, 2 and 5 m) are at the extreme ends of current projections for thermal expansion and meltwater influx (1 m) and indeed at the limits of possibility associated with west Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse (5 m). The aim in the paper is to draw attention to the likely impacts of such changes on coastal resort cities that rely on the maintenance of certain environmental qualities for their continued existence. An important finding was that preparation for anticipated sea level rise enhances the chances of successful adaptation. Beyond a certain amount of sea level rise, however, no amount of preparation could enable a coastal resort city to remain in existence. We hope that the findings will draw attention for coastal resort cities to assess the likely impacts of future sea level rise at an early stage. A number of such cities are still developing and allowance for future sea level rise could be incorporated into the design phase to reduce future sea level rise impacts.
