Project: Improved prediction and forecasting of coastal compound flood hazard around the UK’
Supervisors: Masashi Watanabe
Project Description:
Coastal hazards mainly occur in response to meteorological events that drive multiple hazards, such as strong winds, heavy rain, storm surge, high waves, high river flows. Current guidance and coastal flood prediction generally doesn’t account for interdependencies and potential non-linear amplification of these hazards. Understanding both the present-day combined multi-hazard flood risk and the potential changes under future sea-level rise and changes in storminess are fundamental to robust coastal adaptation planning.
