Coastal flooding is a significant and increasing hazard. There are multiple drivers including rising coastal water levels, more intense hydrologic inputs, shoaling groundwater urbanization. Accurate flood event prediction poses numerous challenges: representing boundary conditions, depicting terrain hydraulic infrastructure, integrating spatially temporally variable overtopping flows, routing overland flows incorporating signals. Tremendous advances in geospatial data quality, numerical...
Urban coastal flooding is a global humanitarian and socioeconomic hazard. Rising sea levels will increase the likelihood of hydrologic events interacting with high marine water levels. These compound may, in turn, nonlinearly interact urban infrastructure, potentially resulting more extreme events. Here, an integrated Delft3D-FM based numerical modeling framework used to concomitantly resolve multi-source flood processes (i.e., levels, precipitation) infrastructure (e.g., seawalls, storm...
Compound coastal flooding considers the joint impacts of marine and hydrologic interactions has recently been identified as an international research priority. Along US West Coast, winter storms often bring high water levels along with energetic waves precipitation. Hydrodynamic models have widely used to estimate flood impacts, including extreme estuarine in compound events (e.g., riverine discharge-tide-storm surge interactions), produced satisfactory results. However, few studies further...
