Assessing physical vulnerability of the coast in light of a changing climate : an integrated, multi-hazard, multi-timescale approach

Creator:: Harris, Erica L.
Abstract:: Hazards threaten coastal communities and ecosystems over a wide range of spatiotemporal scales. One of the most pressing concerns for coastal property owners, decision makers, and researchers is the uncertain role that a changing climate will have on the intensity and frequency of these hazards. The significant uncertainties associated with...

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...

From the Shoreface to the Foredunes : Coastal Morphodynamics Across the Land-Sea Interface

Creator:: Cohn, Nicholas T.
Abstract:: Coastal flooding and erosion are major concerns for low lying coastal communities -- particularly in light of accelerated sea level rise and climate change. To improve quantitative understanding of the physical drivers of both flooding and coastal landscape change, this dissertation explores coastal morphodynamics bridging the land-sea interface on modally...

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...

Coastal sand dunes in the U.S. Pacific Northwest : regional variability in foredune geomorphology and associated physical vulnerability to hazards

Creator:: Mull, Jeremy M.
Abstract:: Coastal foredunes protect lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems during severe winter storms. In the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW), coastal foredune geomorphology is determined by both physical and ecological mechanisms. Before the 1900's, the native plant Elymus mollis was the dominant dune grass and dune morphology was largely determined by sediment supply...

Morphodynamic Evolution of Coastal Oregon: Using New Lidar-derived Beach and Sand Dune Morphometrics to Explore Multi-decadal Change

Creator:: Light, Jacob W
Abstract:: The coast of Oregon is highly dynamic, with beach and dune morphodynamics constantly evolving in response to physical and ecological forcing at scales ranging from seconds to decades and meters to tens of kilometers. Evaluating spatial and temporal trends in shoreline evolution is paramount in understanding and eventually developing a...

Regional scale sandbar variability : observations from the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Di Leonardo, Diana R.
Abstract:: Understanding sandbar dynamics and variability is integral to developing a predictive capacity for nearshore flows, sediment transport, morphological change, and ultimately for determining coastline exposure to damaging storm waves. Along the high-energy U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) coast, sandbars typically dominate the bathymetry of the active zone. Here we report on...

The Art of Reducing Coastal Hazard Complexity: Coupling Physics and Probability to Understand Extremes, Variability, and Climate-dependence

Creator:: Anderson, Dylan L.
Abstract:: Coastal hazards are the result of numerous physical processes cumulatively causing water levels to flood and erode the land. The waves, storm surges, tides, and run-off contributing to elevated water levels are each the product of chaotic and random weather patterns. These stochastic weather patterns dissipate energy in Earth's climate...
