Sea Level and Liverpool (Part 3): Future Perspective?

This video forms part of the series "Sea Level: A Liverpool View". This video uses footage taken in Hoylake and West Kirkby near Liverpool of the storm that battered the UK on the 5th December 2013 to demonstrate the impact and potential hazard of storm surges. The video illustrates why storm surges happen and how sea level change in the future from climate change might contribute to increasing risk of coastal flooding, which could affect the hundreds of millions of people who live near coasts worldwide.
This video was made by oceanographers and colleagues at the University of Liverpool and the National Oceanography Centre.
Oceanographic research at Liverpool and surrounding area dates back to the year 1640. In 2020, Liverpool celebrates 100 years of teaching Ocean Sciences. Interested in joining us?
