Quantifying uncertainty in exposure to coastal hazards associated with both climate change and adaptation strategies : a U.S. Pacific Northwest alternative coastal futures analysis

Creator:: Mills, Alexis K., Ruggiero, Peter, Bolte, John P., Serafin, Katherine A., and Lipiec, Eva
Abstract:: Coastal communities face heightened risk to coastal flooding and erosion hazards due to sea-level rise, changing storminess patterns, and evolving human development pressures. Incorporating uncertainty associated with both climate change and the range of possible adaptation measures is essential for projecting the evolving exposure to coastal flooding and erosion, as...

What's streamflow got to do with it? A probabilistic simulation of the competing oceanographic and fluvial processes driving extreme along-river water levels

Creator:: Serafin, Katherine A., Ruggiero, Peter, and Parker, Kai
Abstract:: Extreme water levels generating flooding in estuarine and coastal environments are often driven by compound events, where many individual processes such as waves, storm surge, streamflow, and tides coincide. Despite this, extreme water levels are typically modeled in isolated open-coast or estuarine environments, potentially mischaracterizing the true risk of flooding...

Emulation as an approach for rapid estuarine modeling

Creator:: Parker, Kai, Ruggiero, Peter, Serafin, Katherine A., and Hill, David F.
Abstract:: Probabilistic flood hazard assessment is a promising methodology for estuarine risk assessment but currently remains limited by prohibitively long simulation times. This study addresses this problem through the development of an emulator, or surrogate model, which replaces the simulator (in this case the coupled ADCIRC+SWAN model) with a statistical representation...

The Role of Ecomorphodynamic Feedbacks and Landscape Couplings in Influencing the Response of Barriers to Changing Climate

Creator:: Moore, Laura J., Goldstein, Evan B., Durán Vinent, Orencio, Walters, David, Kirwan, Matthew, Lauzon, Rebecca, Mirray, A. Brad, and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: Because barriers are low-lying and dynamic landforms, they are especially sensitive to changing environmental conditions. The continued existence of barriers will depend on the degree to which these landforms can maintain elevation above sea level while also migrating landward. We are increasingly learning that ecomorphodynamic interactions (i.e., interactions between morphology,...

Exploring the impacts of climate and policy changes on coastal community resilience: Simulating alternative future scenarios

Creator:: Mills, Alexis K., Bolte, John P., Ruggiero, Peter, Serafin, Katherine A., Lipiec, Eva, Corcoran, Patrick, Stevenson, John, Zanocco, Chad, and Lach, Denise
Abstract:: Coupled models of coastal hazards, ecosystems, socioeconomics, and landscape management in conjunction with alternative scenario analysis provide tools that can allow decision-makers to explore effects of policy decisions under uncertain futures. Here, we describe the development and assessment of a set of model-based alternative future scenarios examining climate and population...

Macrophyte wrack on sandy beaches of the US Pacific Northwest is linked to proximity of source habitat, ocean upwelling, and beach morphology

Creator:: Reimer, Jessica N., Hacker, Sally D., Menge, Bruce A., and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: Marine macrophyte wrack (macroalgae and seagrasses) frequently washes onto beaches but little is known about the factors controlling its biogeographic variability. We report on a large-scale study of macrophyte wrack deposition patterns on the US Pacific Northwest coast. We measured macrophyte wrack on 12 sandy beach sites from southern Washington...

The Tillamook County Coastal Futures Project : Exploring alternative scenarios for Tillamook County’s coastline

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Lipiec, Eva, Mills, Alexis, Bolte, John, Corcoran, Pat, Stevenson, John, Serafin, Katherine A., and Evans-Wilent, Janan
Abstract:: This report assesses climate change impacts and associated community and ecosystem vulnerability. It was compiled by a group of Oregon State University researchers and students, outreach specialists, and coastal community members in Tillamook County, Oregon (OR). Through sustained engagement with the Tillamook County Coastal Futures Knowledge to Action Network (TCCF...

Coastal protection and conservation on sandy beaches and dunes : Context-dependent tradeoffs in ecosystem service supply

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Seabloom, Eric W., Hacker, Sally D., Biel, Reuben G., and Cohn, Nicholas
Abstract:: Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) across landscapes presents a central challenge for ecosystem-based management, because services often exhibit spatiotemporal variation and weak associations with co-occurring ESs. Further focus on the mechanistic relationships among ESs and their underlying biophysical processes provides greater insight into the causes of variation and covariation among...

The Role of Vegetation in Determining Dune Morphology, Exposure to Sea-Level Rise, and Storm-Induced Coastal Hazards : A U.S. Pacific Northwest Perspective

Creator:: Ruggiero, Peter, Hacker, Sally, Seabloom, Eric, and Zarnetske, Phoebe
Abstract:: This chapter is part of Barrier Dynamics and Response to Changing Climate. Coastal foredunes are often the “first line of defense” for backshore infrastructure from the hazards of erosion and flooding, and they are key components of coastal ecosystems. The shape and growth characteristics of coastal foredunes, typically characterized by...

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...
