How many likes to get you to stop? 😆 I joke, it’s interesting to follow. Also terrifying this is all in your brain.

We've shown this in a few recent studies—one showing how sea-level rise will make distant tsunamis from Alaska more impactful in southern California, and another showing how earthquake-driven coastal subsidence will flood far more land in places like Oregon and Washington as the century progresses.

As sea level rises, coastal communities are starting out closer to the water—before any earthquake or tsunami occurs. So when a tsunami does hit, it doesn’t need to be as big to cause flooding. And when an earthquake causes coastal subsidence, future sea-level rise will amplify flood exposure.
