Coastal regions are home to billions of people worldwide, but our intense use is placing them under pressure. This Insight explores some of the factors shaping coastal systems, including flooding by tropical cyclones, ice loss in Greenland, wetland stability, carbon cycling in the coastal ocean, seaweed tides, offshore groundwater reserves and coastal defence in the face of global change.
