Date Time WA coastal flooding risk rising rapidly, study reveals Scientists from The University of Western Australia have analysed WA coastal data from the last 50 years and found extreme sea levels leading to coastal flooding are rapidly increasing. The study, published in Earth’s Future, shows that a combination of sea level rise and climate cycle factors unique to WA will likely accelerate coastal flooding risks in the future.

Lead researcher Professor Ryan Lowe from the UWA Oceans Graduate School said while sea levels had been rising steadily at 3 to 5 millimetres per year in recent decades, on par with global averages, sea levels along the WA coastline were also strongly affected by El Nino and La Nina conditions.
