  • Description: Inhabited coastal areas around the world have to deal with sea level rise (SLR) and its likely consequences such as increasing natural hazards like heavy storms, flooding events and coastal lowland loss by drowning over the long-term. The latter threat also affects the so-called Halligen, ten island-like marsh areas in the North Frisian Wadden Sea (southern North Sea), Germany. Like marshes in general, periodic inundations of the Halligen have the potential to mitigate or even hamper the risk of drowning by sedimentation and subsequent surface elevation increase. This natural adaptation cap...
