Mapping Out Climate Change: Assessing How Coastal Communities Adapt Using Alternative Future Scenarios

Creator:

Lipiec, Eva, Ruggiero, Peter, Mills, Alexis, Serafin, Katherine A., Bolte, John, Corcoran, Patrick, Stevenson, John, Zanocco, Chad, and Lach, Denise

Abstract:

Coastal communities are increasingly experiencing climate change–induced coastal disasters and chronic flooding and erosion. Decision makers and the public alike are struggling to reconcile the lack of ‘‘fit’’ between a rapidly changing environment and relatively rigid governance structures. In efforts to bridge this environment-governance gap in Tillamook County, Oregon, stakeholders...

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...

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...
