Abstract:The mean sea level in the Bay of Biscay is expected to rise between 29 and 49 cm from 2001 to 2099, as a result of regional thermal expansion and global ice-melting. The objective of this contribution is to assess the impacts of the future projected sea level rise (SLR) in the Bay of Biscay and extreme wave events on Basque coastal habitats (saltmarshes, sandy beaches and dunes, estuaries and urban areas) by generating flood risk maps within the Basque coast (Gipuzkoan coast and the Oka estuary).
