Coupled wave and surge modeling of Tillamook Bay, Oregon : extreme events and climate change impacts

Creator:

Cheng, Tiffany Kay

Abstract:

Estuaries represent the confluence of land and ocean environments and encompass a number of complex interactions amongst tides, winds, offshore waves and the riverine contributions, all of which contribute to total water levels (TWLs). The study of TWLs and the relative weight of its components can assist local communities in...

Coastal hazards and community exposure in a changing climate : the development of probabilistic coastal change hazard zones

Creator:

Baron, Heather M.

Abstract:

Documented trends in rising sea levels, storminess, and extreme wave heights have the potential to increase the frequency and magnitude of coastal change hazards, increasing risks to coastal infrastructure and environmental resources. Coastal planners and decision makers need information about the impacts of future hazards in order to apply mitigation...
