  • Tsunami propagation in large rivers : idealized cases and the Columbia River Estuary

    Creator:
    Kalmbacher, Kirk D.
    Abstract:
    The hazards associated with tsunamis are well known and have been studied for decades. The majority of research is, however, focused on open coastlines which bear the brunt of a tsunamis force. Other regions that can be strongly impacted by a tsunami are large estuaries. Here, the tsunami encounters a...

  • Tidal range changes in the Delaware Bay : past conditions and future scenarios

    Creator:
    Hall, George F.
    Abstract:
    Throughout the Holocene, appreciable changes in bathymetry are hypothesized to have resulted in large changes to tidal datums in coastal and estuarine areas. An understanding of tidal change is an important contribution to the knowledge of relative historical sea-level change and future coastal planning. To test this hypothesis, the Advanced...

  • Beach Dune Subsurface Hydrodynamics and the Formation of Dune Scarps

    Creator:
    Bond, Hailey G.
    Abstract:
    The formation of beach scarps is a challenging morphodynamic phenomenon that the coastal community has yet to capture in coastal change models. Understanding scarp formation is crucial to accurately predicting coastal erosion and vulnerability during extreme events, as models without parameters for scarp formation and development severely underpredict total erosion...
