Vulnerability of Coastal Infrastructure and Communities to Extreme Storms and Rising Sea Levels: An Improved Model for Grenada and Its Dependencies

open access: yesLand, 2023
Coastal areas of Grenada in the south-eastern Caribbean are particularly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. The effects of increasingly powerful hurricanes, sea-level rise, and reef degradation are often compounded by local ...

Sensitivity analysis of a coupled hydrodynamic-vegetation model using the effectively subsampled quadratures method (ESQM v5.2) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
. Coastal hydrodynamics can be greatly affected by the presence of submerged aquatic vegetation. The effect of vegetation has been incorporated into the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere–Wave–Sediment Transport (COAWST) modeling system.

Hurricane surge and inundation in the Bahamas, part 1: Storm surge model

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract A storm surge model has been developed as part of a pilot study for The Commonwealth of the Bahamas. The hydrodynamic model, TELEMAC‐2D, is used to simulate the response of water level to tide and the wind and atmospheric pressure fields of hurricanes and subsequent inundation over land.
