    Contemporary sea level rise rates around Malaysia: Altimeter data optimization for assessing coastal impact
    (Elsevier, 2018) Amalina Izzati Abdul Hamid; Ami Hassan Md Din; Cheinway Hwang; Nur Fadila Khalid; Astina Tugi; Kamaludin Mohd Omar
    The increase of anthropogenic activities has triggered global sea level rise to threaten many low-lying and unprotected coastal areas. Without measures, global sea levels will continue to rise at an accelerating rate in the 21st century. This paper quantifies sea level trends around the Malaysian seas using measurements from multiple altimeter missions over 1993–2015.

    Sea level rise undermines SDG2 and SDG6 in Pantai Acheh, Penang, Malaysia
    (Springer, 2021) Xin Yi Kh’ng; Su Yean Teh; Hock Lye Koh; Shuhaida Shuib
    For coastal communities living in low elevation Pantai Acheh of Penang, Malaysia, salinization of groundwater caused by sea level rise (SLR) could pose a daunting challenge to water supply and crop cultivation, thereby undermining local water security (SDG6) and food security (SDG2). Modelling analysis using MANTRA was performed to examine the sustainability of coastal groundwater and vegetation in Pantai Acheh in response to SLR. MANTRA was developed by linking two United States Geological Survey (USGS) simulation models known as MANHAM and SUTRA.
