Historical evolution of the Columbia River littoral cell

Creator:: Kaminsky, George M., Ruggiero, Peter, Buijsman, Maarten, McCandless, Diana, and Gelfenbaum, Guy
Abstract:: This paper details the historical coastal evolution of the Columbia River littoral cell in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Geological data from A.D. 1700 and records leading up to the late 1800s provide insights to the natural system dynamics prior to significant human intervention, most notably jetty construction...

Sediment-Transport-Study-Phase-1-Version-2.pdf

Creator:: Özkan-Haller, H. Tuba, Allan, Jonathan C., Barth, Jack A., Haller, Merrick C., Holman, Rob A., Ruggiero, Peter, Oregon State University, and Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries
Abstract:: This project was carried out collaboratively by Oregon State University (OSU) and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) and involved baseline observations and modeling at the proposed wave energy conversion (WEC) array site near Reedsport, OR. In particular, observations and predictions of the wave conditions at the...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.,...

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...
