Is the intensifying wave climate of the U.S. Pacific Northwest increasing flooding and erosion risk faster than sea level rise?

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: The relative contributions of sea level rise (SLR) and increasing extra-tropical storminess to the frequency with which waves attack coastal features is assessed with a simple total water level (TWL) model. For the coast of the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) over the period of wave-buoy observations (~30 years) wave height...

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

Creator:: Serafin, Katherine A. and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: Coastal flood hazard zones and the design of coastal defenses are often devised using the maximum recorded water level or a ‘‘design’’ event such as the 100 year return level, usually projected from observed extremes. Despite technological advances driving more consistent instrumental records of waves and water levels, the observational...

Estimating Storm-Induced Dune Erosion and Overtopping along U.S. West Coast Beaches

Creator:: Mull, Jeremy and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: Coastal foredunes protect lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems during severe storms. A range of approaches, ranging from simple (e.g., geometric) to complex (e.g., process-based) predictive models, have been developed to quantify overtopping and foredune retreat during storms. At present, however, there is no widely accepted approach for assessing the vulnerability of...

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

Creator:: Di Leonardo, Diana and Ruggiero, Peter
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. Here we report on a nearshore bathymetric data set from the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) that stretches from Point Grenville, Washington...

Pacific Storms Climatology Products (PSCP): Understanding Extreme Events

Creator:: Kruk, Michael C., Marra, John J., Ruggiero, Peter, Atkinson, David, Merrifield, Mark, Levinson, David, and Lander, Mark
Abstract:: Extreme events: the floods that displace us from our homes, the high waves that wash out coastal roads, or the toppling of trees and power poles from a passing storm. For locations around the Pacific Basin, where remote island chains sit perilously close to sea level and where rainfall is...

Incorporating climate change and morphological uncertainty into coastal change hazard assessments

Creator:: Baron, Heather M., Ruggiero, Peter, Wood, Nathan J., Harris, Erica L., Allan, Jonathan, Komar, Paul D., and Corcoran, Patrick
Abstract:: Documented and forecasted trends in rising sea levels and changes in storminess patterns have the potential to increase the frequency, magnitude, and spatial extent of coastal change hazards. To develop realistic adaptation strategies, coastal planners need information about coastal change hazards that recognizes the dynamic temporal and spatial scales of...

An Inner-Shelf Wave Forecasting System for the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Garcia-Medina, Gabriel, Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba, Ruggiero, Peter, and Oskamp, Jeffrey
Abstract:: An operational inner-shelf wave forecasting system was implemented for the Oregon and southwest Washington coast in the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW). High-resolution wave forecasts are useful for navigational planning, identifying wave energy resources, providing information for site-specific coastal flood models, and having an informed recreational beach user group, among other...

Development of the Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) for predicting the impact of storms on high-energy, active-margin coasts

Creator:: Barnard, Patrick L., van Ormondt, Maarten, Erikson, Li H., Eshleman, Jodi, Hapke, Cheryl, Ruggiero, Peter, Adams, Peter N., and Foxgrover, Amy C.
Abstract:: The Coastal Storm Modeling System (CoSMoS) applies a predominantly deterministic framework to make detailed predictions (meter scale) of storm-induced coastal flooding, erosion, and cliff failures over large geographic scales (100s of kilometers). CoSMoS was developed for hindcast studies, operational applications (i.e., nowcasts and multiday forecasts), and future climate scenarios (i.e.,...

Integrated modeling framework to quantify the coastal protection services supplied by vegetation

Creator:: Guannel, Greg, Ruggiero, Peter, Faries, Joe, Arkema, Katie, Pinsky, Malin, Gelfenbaum, Guy, Guerry, Anne, and Kim, Choong-Ki
Abstract:: Vegetation can protect communities by reducing nearshore wave height and altering sediment transport processes. However, quantitative approaches for evaluating the coastal protection services, or benefits, supplied by vegetation to people in a wide range of coastal environments are lacking. To begin to fill this knowledge gap, we propose an integrated...

The impact of the 2009–10 El Nino Modoki on U.S. West Coast beaches

Creator:: Barnard, Patrick L., Allan, Jonathan, Hansen, Jeff E., Kaminsky, George M., Ruggiero, Peter, and Doria, Andre
Abstract:: High-resolution beach morphology data collected along much of the U.S. West Coast are synthesized to evaluate the coastal impacts of the 2009–10 El Niño. Coastal change observations were collected as part of five beach monitoring programs that span between 5 and 13 years in duration. In California, regional wave and...
