Short summary
Coastal flooding places millions of people and infrastructures at risk. In this study, we introduce a Europe-wide approach to identify areas exposed to coastal flooding. The approach combines information on how water levels change under storm conditions with a model that simulates how flood spreads across the land. We found that using simpler methods, as is often done, can make the results less reliable in places like Belgium and the United Kingdom.
