| The planet has been suffering a global warming change leading to sea level rise; it is happening since the Little Ice Age (L I A) but that is considered to be progressively increasing since 19th century. It comes with other synergic changes in marine and littoral dynamics, widely like the intensity and evolution of the Atlantic or Pacific Oscillation (ENSO) and specifically in waves and storms. But it is accompanied by other relative sea level movements in each segment of the coast with a local or even a regional character which have interfered in the global change. Main problem lays in discerning the factors or causes that affect the vertical movements of the Earth¿s crust. This paper affronts the problem of the variable coastal urban floods, analysing the causes of subsidence and discerning them in the long term, and the influence of other sea level changes in the ¿short term¿: meteorological phenomena (storm surge and set-up), wave set-up and other long waves included tsunamis. | |
