Extreme coastal flooding poses a major threat to human life and infrastructure. Low-gradient
coastal watersheds can be vulnerable to flooding from both intense rainfall and storm surge …

The unstructured-mesh SWAN spectral wave model and the ADCIRC shallow-water
circulation model have been integrated into a tightly-coupled SWAN+ ADCIRC model. The …

Recent hurricane losses in the New York Metropolitan area demonstrate its vulnerability to
flood hazards. Long-term development and planning require predictions of low-probability …

The coupled ocean–atmosphere–wave–sediment transport (COAWST) modeling system
was used to investigate atmosphere–ocean–wave interactions in November 2009 during …

Tropical cyclone induced storm surge and extreme waves pose a significant threat and
danger to coastal inhabitants as well cause significant damage to infrastructure …

Forecasting hurricane impacts of extreme winds and flooding requires accurate prediction of
hurricane structure and storm-induced ocean surface waves days in advance. The waves …

Compound floods are becoming a growing threat in coastal cities against a background of
global sea level rise (SLR), and may cause increasing impacts on societal safety and …
