Hydrodynamic and Morphologic Controls on Extreme Coastal Total Water Levels Across Regional and Local Scales

Creator:

Serafin, Katherine A.

Abstract:

Coastal and estuarine flooding and erosion events are usually driven by the cumulative effect of multiple individual processes like waves, streamflow, storm surge, and/or tides. This dissertation focuses on separating the influence of the regional and local-scale geomorphologic and hydrodynamic processes driving variability in the magnitude and impacts of extreme...

Dissertation
Simulating extreme total water levels using a time-dependent, extreme value approach

Creator:

Serafin, Katherine A.

Abstract:

Coastal flood hazard zones and the design of coastal defenses are often devised using either the maximum recorded total water level (TWL) or a 'design' event such as the 100-year return-level flood, usually projected from observed extreme events. Despite technological advances driving more consistent instrumental records of wave heights and...
