Present-day coastal subsidence and inundation risk to socioeconomic exposure in Chennai City, India
(SSP5-8.5), expanding the exposed area by over 300% relative to 2030. The affected population may rise from 2.45 million to 9.85 million, with asset exposure surpassing USD 100 million by 2100. These findings highlight the urgent need to integrate VLM into regional sea-level assessments and adaptation planning to enhance Chennai's coastal resilience.
