     Our new paper, entitled "A Tale of Two Coasts: Unveiling U.S. Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Cities at High Flood Risk" is published in Science Advances.  
​     In this study, we have three "2s" and three "3s":
Three "2s":
1. Our study region includes two coasts: the U.S. Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast.
2. Our study design includes two scenarios: general flood damage scenarios and extreme flood damage scenarios.
3. Our study reveals two coastal cities that are at particularly high coastal flood risk: New York City and New Orleans.
Three "3s":
1. Our study considers three major components in our conceptual framework: hazard, exposure, and social vulnerability.
2. Our study adopts three machine learning models: Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Multilayer Perceptron. We selected the best-performing model to simulate the flood risk maps.
3. Our study recommends three types of infrastructure to help coastal communities defend against coastal flooding: green, blue, and grey.
