Coastal Inundation Research:An overview of the Process
Current Science, 2017 Coastal inundation is the flooding of coastal zone resulting from increased river discharge, spring tides, severe storms, or generation of powerful waves from tectonic activity (tsunami). This article discusses the critical factors that contribute to coastal inundation. Among the probable factors that cause coastal flooding and destruction, storm surge

Reduction of tsunami inundation by coastal forests in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: a numerical study [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 Coastal forests are known to protect coastal areas from environmental degradation. In this paper, we examined another important role of coastal forests – to mitigate tsunami devastations to coastal areas.

ASSESSING FLOOD IMPACTS IN RURAL COASTAL COMMUNITIES USING LIDAR [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016 Coastal communities are vulnerable to floods from storm events which are further exacerbated by storm surges. Additionally, coastal towns provide specific challenges during flood events as many coastal communities are peninsular and vulnerable to ...

Impact Assessment of Climate Change on Storm Surge and Sea Level Rise Around Viti Levu, Fiji
Frontiers in Climate, 2020 Projecting the sea level rise (SLR), storm surges, and related inundation in the Pacific Islands due to climate change is important for assessing the impact of climate change on coastal regions as well as the adaptation of the coastal regions.
