Broadscale Coastal Inundation Modelling

2015
To understand the implications of changes to marine climates and the impact on people, analysis is required of the spatial extent and depths of flooding in urban and rural areas. Over extended timescales, the uncertainties related to possible sea-level rise and changes in storminess increase significantly.

Development of a coastal inundation compound modelling framework

2023
Environmental hazards represent a major socio-economic challenge where floods events are the most impactful in terms of global population affected (UNDRR, 2020). Coastal areas are exposed to multiple met-ocean extreme events which can occur separately or combined.

Causes and Impacts of Coastal Inundation

2018
According to NOAA’s Office of Coastal Management, inundation events are the dominant causes of natural-hazard-related deaths in the U.S. and are also the most frequent and costly of the natural hazards affecting the nation. The effects of inundation in other nations such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, Thailand and India are often devastating. While the long-

Modeling SAR backscattering response to coastal inundation

IEEE 1999 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. IGARSS'99 (Cat. No.99CH36293), 2003
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data are investigated for their potential to detect the presence of inundation in a coastal marsh. Polarimetric SAR data were acquired by the NASA/JPL AIRSAR sensor over the coast of Texas, USA during dry conditions in 1995 and again during wet conditions in 1996. Some environments discernable in the L-band data from 1995

Application of ERS-1 SAR for coastal inundation

Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002
ERS-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) C-band (5.3 GHz) remote sensing data, together with ground sampled data, have been used to assess hydrologic conditions in the Gulf of Mexico coastal tidal marsh system. Using automatic recorders, water level measurements were continuously collected in creek sites in the marsh which sampled the duration and ...

Scale and Cost of the Coming Coastal Inundation

2019
There is great diversity of geography along the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific coasts of the United States. The beaches of Cape Cod, the wetlands of Louisiana, and the hills of California’s Big Sur are iconic coastal images for most Americans. More severe storms and rising seas will be kind to coastal places fortunate to have notable elevation ...

Land use planning, coastal inundation and coastal erosion in Tasmania

2010
This study seeks further understanding of how to use land use planning to improve the current Tasmanian practice in mitigating the impacts from coastal hazards and adapt sea level rise resulting from climate change. Coastal hazards include coastal inundation and coastal erosion, which under current climate change scenarios, will increasingly have ...

Tropical cyclones and coastal inundation under enhanced greenhouse conditions

Water, Air, and Soil Pollution, 1996
The behavior of tropical cyclones under enhanced greenhouse conditions has been the subject of considerable speculation. Typical spatial scales of these cyclones are on the order of tens to hundreds of kilometers. Therefore they cannot be simulated in global climate models with resolutions of several hundred kilometers.

Medieval Coastal Sand Inundation in Britain and Ireland

Medieval Archaeology, 2015
HISTORICAL, ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND GEOMORPHOLOGICAL data indicate that many of the coastal dune formations of Britain and Ireland underwent significant accretion in the medieval and post-medieval periods. The changes wrought by sand-blows to settlement and agriculture were far-reaching, and in some cases devastating.

Application of a coastal model to simulate present and future inundation and aid coastal management

Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2010
This paper describes the application of coastal hydro-informatic modelling (using the TELEMAC Modelling System) to address management issues arising from projected hydrodynamical and morphological changes within a shallow, sandy estuarine environment. The model incorporates the complex interaction of ocean, terrestrial and atmospheric processes.
