c-HAND: near real-time coastal flood mapping

open access: yesFrontiers in Water
The Texas Gulf Coast region contains significant centers of population, infrastructure, and economy and is threatened by intensifying tropical storms. The flooding from these tropical storms often has multiple compounding drivers.

A Physics‐Based Approach to Project the Impact of Climate Change on Occurrence of Compound Floods in a Large River Delta

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Climate change is intensifying compound flooding in coastal regions, caused by the co‐occurrence of coastal and fluvial floods. This trend increases the probability of disasters beyond historical precedent, posing growing threats to densely populated deltas.

Regional modelling of extreme sea levels induced by hurricanes [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Coastal zones are increasingly threatened by extreme sea level events, with storm surges being among the most hazardous components, especially in regions prone to tropical cyclones.

A Neural Operator Emulator for Coastal and Riverine Shallow Water Dynamics

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Coastal regions and river floodplains are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of extreme weather events. Accurate real‐time forecasting of hydrodynamic processes in these areas is essential for infrastructure planning and climate adaptation.

Exploring Water Level Sensitivity for Metropolitan New York during Sandy (2012) Using Ensemble Storm Surge Simulations

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
This paper describes storm surge simulations made for Sandy (2012) for the Metropolitan New York (NYC) area using the Advanced Circulation (ADCIRC) model forced by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The atmospheric forecast uncertainty was

A Framework for Modeling Tropical Cyclone‐Induced Compound Flooding of the Continental US: Demonstrated in New Orleans

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Compound flooding involves the interaction of multiple flood processes (e.g., coastal, fluvial, and pluvial) and is modulated by several factors (e.g., weather, climate, topobathy, morphology, time‐lag). In tropical and subtropical regions globally, Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are a primary cause of compound flooding as they generate substantial ...

Uncertainty Analysis of Overflow Due to Sea Dike Failure During Typhoon Events

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Taiwan is frequently affected by typhoons, which cause storm surges and wave impacts that damage sea dikes, resulting in overflow and subsequent flooding.

Reshaping of San Jose Island, TX, USA, by Unconfined Washover and Channelized Washout During Hurricane Harvey

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Hurricane Harvey (2017) produced 31 net‐erosional washout channels on San Jose Island, Texas, USA, where offshore‐directed flows cut through two dune ridges and the beach. Channel growth was affected by natural, pre‐existing aeolian topography, rather than prior washover channels or infrastructure. We investigate how offshore directed outwash,

Using surrogate modeling to predict storm surge on evolving landscapes under climate change

open access: yesnpj Natural Hazards
Planners managing coastal flood risk under a constrained computational budget face a tradeoff. Simulating many time periods or scenarios limits how many storm simulations can be run on each landscape. In this analysis, we present a deep learning model to
