   Migration towards Bangladesh coastlines projected to increase with sea-level   
   rise through 2100   
   Environmental. Research Letters   
   Sea level rise is expected to have major negative effects on the low-lying   
   country of Bangladesh, with prior studies suggesting large-scale   
   displacement of people away from vulnerable coastlines. A new analysis   
   suggests that, counterintuitively, people will continue to migrate toward   
   the vulnerable coastline irrespective of the flooding amplified by future   
   sea level rise, at least through the end of the 21st century. The study uses   
   a model of household migration decision-making that captures all the   
   different factors driving relocations. The model "does not predict flooding   
   impacts great enough to drive populations away from coastlines in any of the   
   scenarios", the authors say. They explain: "One reason is that while   
   flooding does accelerate a transition from agricultural to non-agricultural   
   income opportunities, livelihood alternatives are most abundant in coastal   
   cities. At the same time, some coastal populations are unable to migrate, as   
   flood losses accumulate and reduce the set of livelihood alternatives."
