Vulnerability assessment of storm surges in the coastal area of Guangdong Province [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2011 Being bordered by the South China Sea and with long coastline, the coastal zone of Guangdong Province is often under severe risk of storm surges, as one of a few regions in China which is seriously threatened by storm surges.

Impact of rising sea levels on Australian fur seals [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Global warming is leading to many unprecedented changes in the ocean-climate system. Sea levels are rising at an increasing rate and are amplifying the impact of storm surges along coastlines. As variability in the timing and strength of storm surges has

Tide and skew surge independence: New insights for flood risk [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Storm surges are a significant hazard to coastal communities around the world, putting lives at risk and costing billions of dollars in damage. Understanding how storm surges and high tides interact is crucial for estimating extreme water levels so that ...

Qualitative Inquiry, 2014 This is a story about what happens when an experienced teacher attempts to survive the implementation of a relentless, assessment-driven curriculum. Australian Education systems are now demanding that schools be accountable for student results, and that student outcomes are measured.

Proceedings of OceanObs'09: Sustained Ocean Observations and Information for Society, 2010 Storm surges occur in coastal areas when strong onshore winds and low atmospheric pressure during passing storms raise water levels along the shore above predicted levels. Storm surges occur on all four Canadian coasts (Pacific, Arctic, Atlantic and Great Lakes). The most severe known surges in Canada have been 2 to 3 metres high (well over the head of

Analysis of storm surge events along the Norwegian coast
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Observed extreme sea levels are caused by a combination of extreme astronomical tide and extreme storm surge, or by an extreme value in one of these variables and a moderate value in the other.

Atmosphere, 2022 Storm surges and waves are key climate-driven parameters affecting the design and operation of ports and other infrastructure on the coast. Reliable predictions of future storm surges and waves are not yet available for the west coast of Canada, and this

Tropical cyclone-induced coastal sea level projection and the adaptation to a changing climate
Cambridge Prisms: Coastal Futures, 2023 Tropical cyclones (TCs) cause severe coastal flooding in the middle latitudes. While the IPCC Fifth Assessment Reports (AR5, 2013) have focused on mean sea-level rise, recent advances (e.g., IPCC Sixth Assessment Reports, AR6, 2021) have shown the ...

Storm surge variability and prediction from ENSO and tropical cyclones
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Storm surges are among the deadliest natural hazards, but understanding and prediction of year-to-year variability of storm surges is challenging. Here, we demonstrate that the interannual variability of observed storm surge levels can be explained and ...

Storm Surge Forecast Using an Encoder–Decoder Recurrent Neural Network Model
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 This study presents an encoder–decoder neural network model to forecast storm surges on the US North Atlantic Coast. The proposed multivariate time-series forecast model consists of two long short-term memory (LSTM) models.
