Modeling of hurricane-storm surge occurrences and analysis of their financial implications
In the last decades, the devastating impact of hurricanes revealed the vulnerability of large areas of the U.S. East and Gulf coasts to this natural hazard. Additionally, the impact of hurricanes may be exacerbated by climate change and the population growth of coastal communities. A framework for …
