UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACTS OF TOPOBATHYMETRIC DATA ON STORM SURGE MODEL PREDICTIONS
… causes. This directly impacts the resulting storm surge during a hurricane. The primary goal of this research was to gain a better understanding of the impact that topography and bathymetry have on storm surge models, particularly the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) Model. Hurricane Zeta (2020) …

Abrupt Climate Change and Storm Surge Impacts in Coastal Louisiana in 2050
… to increased hurricane intensities and their surge responses along the coast of the State of Louisiana. Surge responses are quantified for storms that could potentially occur under present climate but 50 years into the future on a coast subjected to current erosion and local subsidence …

Stochastic Analysis Of Storm-Surge Induced Infrastructure Losses In New York City
… a model for predicting future hurricane related storm surge patterns and for estimating possible levels of damage from future events in order to develop planning strategies to mitigate against possible damage. The first step is to describe the frequency of past storm surge events in New York City …

Modeling of hurricane-storm surge occurrences and analysis of their financial implications
… aspects of hurricanes (wind, rainfall, and storm surge), should be able to account for the effects of climate change, and should adopt wind, rainfall, and storm surge models that are computationally efficient. Several wind and rainfall models in the literature can account for climate change …

Investigation of the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Tropical Cyclone Storm Surge under Sea Level Rise
Storm surges induced by tropical cyclones have been ravaging coastal communities worldwide, where a growing number of people reside. Tremendous life and economic losses are caused by tropical cyclones, contributing to more than half of the damages induced by natural hazards. To improve the …

Refinement of a Regional Storm Surge Mesh for High-Resolution Topographic Representation of Volusia County
… regarding the surface water elevation and surge velocity close to Volusia County’s seawalls. This model output, as well as output produced by successive refinements of the FLAVOR mesh, may be used to hindcast a variety of tropical cyclones and to forecast future coastal events for Volusia …

Tropical Cyclone Storm Surge Detection in Slash Pine Radial Growth along the Northern Gulf of Mexico Coastline
… the ecological impact of tropical cyclone (TCs) storm surge on coastal slash pine (<em>Pinus elliottii </em>var. <em>elliottii</em> Engelm) communities along the Gulf of Mexico in the southern United States (U.S.). Previous research has shown slash pine radial growth trends can be examined to …

The Effect Of Tidal Inlets On Open Coast Storm Surge Hydrographs: A Case Study Of Hurricane Ivan (2004)
… Department of Transportation requires design storm tide hydrographs for coastal waters surrounding tidal inlets along the coast of Florida. These hydrographs are used as open ocean boundary conditions for local bridge scour models. At present, very little information is available on the effect …

Assessment of flood protection strategies for combined critical infrastructure failure and hurricane/storm surge events in the Meadowlands area
… day, water level, etc.) along with a super storm event at various time staging levels. The approach broadens the analytical arsenal available to policy-makers for the purpose of comprehensive risk and resiliency analysis and the selection of optimal protection alternatives. The methodology …

Optimization Of An Unstructured Finite Element Mesh For Tide And Storm Surge Modeling Applications In The Western North Atlantic Ocean
… so that it can be applied to forecast tide and storm surge in the Western North Atlantic Ocean on a real-time basis.

Use of Lidar Data to Investigate the Influence of Bottom Friction Coefficients for Storm Surge Modeling of Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle
<p>Current storm surge modeling typically uses local land use land cover (LULC) maps coupled with lookup tables to parameterize surface roughness because the process is defensible and easily automated at the regional scale. However, this is not a truly accurate method since LULC data is generalized …

Determining the Viability of Recent Storms as Modern Analogues for North-Central Gulf of Mexico Paleotempestology Through Sedimentary Analysis and Storm Surge Reconstruction
… of Mexico has been devastated by recent intense storms. Camille (1969) and Katrina (2005) are two notable hurricanes that made landfall in virtually the same location in Mississippi. However, fully understanding the risks and processes associated with hurricane impacts is impeded by a short and …

Probabilistic Tropical Cyclone Surge Hazard Under Future Sea-Level Rise Scenarios: A Case Study in The Chesapeake Bay Region, USA
Storm surge flooding caused by tropical cyclones is a devastating threat to coastal regions, and this threat is growing due to sea-level rise (SLR). Therefore, accurate and rapid projection of the storm surge hazard is critical for coastal communities. This study focuses on developing a new …

The coastal engineering effects of Tropical Cyclone Chloe, Port Headland, Western Australia February 1984
… in February 1984 is presented. Data on waves and storm surge has been collected and successful methods developed for analysis. Of interest is the investigation into the recovery of wave parameters from relatively deep sub-surface pressure recorders. Comparisons with predictive formulae for waves …

Port Infrastructure Resilience through Combined Wind-Surge Demand Characterization
… such as cranes, are jeopardized when tropical storms approach land. While wind is the only environmental load used to design dockside container cranes, storm surge often accompanies severe wind events and can create large structural loads. This study focuses on determining coupled storm-surge …

Model Development and Monte-Carlo Methods for the Simulation and Analysis of Coastal Impacts of Barrier Island Breach During Hurricanes
… can protect the mainland from flooding during storms through reduction of storm surge and dissipation of storm generated wave energy. However, the protective capability is reduced when barrier islands breach and a direct hydrodynamic connection between the water bodies on both sides of the …

Using an Urban Growth Model Framework to Project the Impacts of Future Flooding on Coastal Populations
… threats from climate change from hurricanes and storm surge inundation. This study will evaluate urban growth using a cellular automata model to analyze the trends in urbanization between 1996 and 2019 and predict how it will continue until 2050. The study uses historical trends in land use and …
