Earthquake-Driven Subsidence and Sea-Level Rise: Compound Flooding Hazards Along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, USA. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,

Climate-driven sea-level rise is increasing the frequency of coastal flooding worldwide, exacerbated locally by factors like land subsidence from groundwater and resource extraction. However, a process rarely considered in future sea-level rise scena...
