Escalating coastal flood risk and impact thresholds in Miami revealed by Hurricane Irma

Abstract Tropical cyclones cause severe coastal flooding and erosion—impacts amplified by climate change-driven sea-level rise. Hurricane Irma (2017) was one of the most destructive hurricanes affecting Florida, including Miami, causing widespread coastal flooding. This study ass...

ClimDiT: A Generative Latent Diffusion Transformer Framework for Multivariate Climate Downscaling

Abstract Accurate, high-resolution local climate projections are essential for climate adaptation and impact assessment. Most statistical downscaling approaches rely on regression-based models that produce single deterministic estimates, thereby limiting their ability to capture...
