Abstract:

People, infrastructure and ecological systems at the coast are vulnerable to several coastal hazards, most of which have, or will, become more serious with changing climate. Climate change is likely to affect rainfall and climate patterns, potentially intensifying and changing seasonal patterns and frequency of storms. Sea-level rise associated with climate change will also impact much of the coastal zone. Despite the threat of coastal disasters, and the projections of increasing hazards under a changing climate, coastal engineering development must continue unabated, leaving many communities at risk of catastrophic losses. For most cities historical events indicate a considerable risk and all coastal communities must live with a certain risk of coastal hazards, but informed coastal engineering can minimize the potential for fatalities and economic loss, and therefore must be undertaken. Here I investigate storms and tsunamis and 1. address the options for obtaining longer records of events and 2. examine the need for incorporating uncertainties of future changes in climate, sea level and and coastal environments.

Abstract:

This research presents StormSim, which is a coastal engineering software toolkit tailored to probabilistically assess coastal hazards and evaluate coastal system design. It was developed in response to the increasing efforts to better incorporate uncertainties and reduce the complexity associated with Probabilistic Coastal Hazard Analysis (PCHA; Nadal-Caraballo, 2020). StormSim is used for probabilistic coastal analyses including, coastal structure responses, coastal storm risk management (CSRM) feasibility, coastal structure engineering, and flood risk management.

Full text

Abstract:

There are over 60,000 miles (100,000 km) of coastal highways in the United States (US) that are occasionally exposed to coastal waves and water levels. Wise stewardship calls for the integration of coastal engineering principles and practices in the planning and design of these roads and bridges to make them more resilient. A new, 3rd, edition of the primary guidance document Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 25 (HEC-25), entitled “Highways in the Coastal Environment” was recently released by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). It provides guidance on a range of issues for the design, planning and operation of coastal highways. This manual should help those with little experience in coastal engineering to understand and, as appropriate, to apply scientific methods and engineering approaches that are unique to the coast. For experienced coastal engineers, this manual should serve as a reference document in providing specific highway-oriented assistance and consultation for FHWA and state Department of Transportation projects.

Abstract:

On the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) outer coast, there are both naturally occurring dune backed beaches and cliff backed cobble beaches that have inspired nature- based engineering strategies for erosion control (i.e., sandy and vegetated dunes and dynamic revetments). Coastal communities want to mitigate and/or manage sand movement now, so policy and regulatory-based agencies are seeking the best available knowledge regarding the ecosystem services and dynamics associated with coastal foredune and cobble berms. Management needs and gaps in scientific knowledge and engineering practice often go hand in hand. Therefore we are working to develop guidance documents that combine management needs with the best available engineering and scientific knowledge to identify, synthesize, and address community-driven priorities for coastal dunes and dynamic cobble revetments in the PNW.

Abstract:

The number and cost of coastal disasters, both acute and chronic, is growing and increased attention is being placed on the development of multifaceted resilient solutions. Coastal engineers are at the frontline of designing innovative and adaptive approaches that address the risks posed by storms, rising seas, and changing climate along the margins of land and water. Coastal solutions, more than ever, must be innovative considering sound physical design, ecological impacts and enhancements, economics, and the connected communities.

Abstract:

In this study, an integrated coastal process model was applied to assess impact of coastal flooding and sedimentation in an estuary in Taiwan and to evaluate performance of proposed engineering plans for flood prevention and sedimentation management. This in-situ validated model was used to simulate and predict hydrodynamic processes and morphological changes induced by multiple hydrological forcing such as river flood flows, waves, tides, and storms surges from rivers to the estuary and its adjacent coasts. Simulation results quantified coastal flooding risks, erosions, sedimentation, and channel refilling. Predicted dynamic responses to typhoons and monsoons were utilized for identifying the most effective engineering plan to reshape the geometry of the estuary. After the selected engineering plan was accomplished, this model was applied again to further predict morphological changes in the newly-developed estuary. This paper demonstrates effectiveness of a simulation-based coastal and estuary planning approach to manage flood and sedimentation driven by complex physical processes from river flows, waves, tides, and sediment transport.

Abstract:

This study presents a comprehensive methodology for assessing wave overtopping risks along the Northern Portuguese Coast, spanning from Viana do Castelo to Aveiro. A Python-based algorithm was developed to analyse a 2m resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM) of the coast, capturing a spatial extent approximately 400m seaward and 600m landward. By generating transects at 100m intervals that conform to the coast's geometry and orientation, key coastal parameters such as the beach slope (derived from the intertidal range) and the critical overtopping threshold were extracted. Utilizing an empirical formula using genetic-programming based algorithm, wave run-up estimations were calculated for specific sea states. The resulting data was integrated into an interactive map, effectively highlighting the region’s most susceptible to wave overtopping and potential coastal flooding. This innovative approach not only facilitates an understanding of the present coastal vulnerability but also provides an invaluable tool for future coastal engineering and management endeavours in the region.

Abstract:

In contrast to most engineering with nature or what are commonly called ‘build with nature’ projects, we term the engineered recovery of degraded coastal ecosystems ‘build for nature’ projects. Baird has been involved with innovative ‘build for nature’ projects in different coastal environments throughout the world, however we here focus on coral reef, seagrass, and marshland recovery projects in the Caribbean. We distinguish these coastal engineering projects from those that build ‘nature-based solutions’ such as artificial wetlands, as well as hybrid projects such as the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)- funded hybrid coral reef being planning in Biscayne Bay. In contrast to these engineering with nature projects, we showcase ‘build for nature’ projects for which investment of effort was made to understand the problem and tailor an ecosystem-wide solution. In addition, Baird has made significant investment in long-term monitoring of coastal engineering-mediated restoration, to ascertain if ecosystem resilien

Full text

Abstract:

The Large Wave Flume (GWK) of the Coastal Research Centre, Germany, has been a well-known and extensively used experimental facility for coastal and offshore engineering research. Following an extensive research and design phase which commenced in mid-2017 incorporating funding proposals, international tender and procurement procedures, construction works commenced in September 2020 for a major extension of GWK to build the new GWK+. The Large Wave Current Flume, i.e. GWK+, stipulates unprecedented possibilities for physical modelling efforts on wave-current-structure- soil interactions. The flume went back into operation in September 2023 starting with the first project on soil liquefaction under progressive waves. The unique modelling capabilities of GWK+ are likewise attractive for unique and novel research approaches related to the fields of coastal or ecological engineering. Research on the stability of dune vegetation and structures on dikes are planned to commence in late 2024 until mid-2025. The present manuscript and talk at ICCE2024 will primarily provide insight into the new features and testing potentials of GWK+ and discuss future challenges in the realm of offshore renewable energy and coastal engineering research where physical model experiments in GWK+ are supposed to make a major contribution.

Full text

Abstract:

Classical survey methods involve making in situ measurements of shoreline locations, which can never scale to the time spans and spatial extent necessary to cover large coastal areas. For 50 years now, satellites have provided images of the earth with reasonable resolution that can provide some insight into shoreline evolution over large timescales and wide areas. Determining shoreline location from satellite imagery involves a general pipeline of image pre-processing, segmentation of the image into water and beach, and then determination of the shoreline location. The goal of the research here is to expand the capabilities of CoastSat to include identification of coastal vegetation and tracking of vegetated shoreline evolution. Accurate measurements of coastal vegetation extent and evolution from satellites may help our understanding of the health of shoreline ecosystems as sea levels rise and storms become more intense. Shoreline trends observed from satellite imagery will provide information to coastal communities that can be used for effective spatial planning, sustainable coastal development, coastal engineering projects, and mitigation of climate change impacts.

Full text

Abstract:

Hurricane storm surge events such as Katrina (2005), Ike (2008), Sandy (2012), Harvey (2017), and Ian (2022) have flooded communities along the US Gulf and Atlantic coastlines, pushing protective structures to their limits around coastal infrastructure. Devastating effects from these events underscore the critical need for high-fidelity simulations to assess the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure to storm surges. The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) routinely engages in large- scale coastal flood hazard studies to evaluate the effectiveness of critical hardened coastal engineering structures (such as levees, floodwalls, and navigation gates) and natural and nature-based features (such as beach and dune systems, wetlands and mangrove stands) for their impact on the coastal resilience of their communities. This study aims to assess the performance of subdomain modeling (SM) within the context of three real- world case studies for Dyke Marsh, Coastal Texas, and New York/New Jersey as provided by USACE- Engineering Research and Development Center (USACE- ERDC). This abstract presents a representative sample of results from the Dyke Marsh case study, while complete findings from all three studies will be included in a comprehensive presentation.

Abstract:

Coastal regions within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) areas of responsibility are highly vulnerable to coastal storms, with more than $1 trillion in damages in the last two decades. Tropical cyclones (TCs), extratropical cyclones (XC), and other extreme storm events impose a variety of coastal hazards including storm surge, waves, rainfall, and wind, which often lead to devastating impacts to coastal communities. Compounding these events with increased storminess (e.g., frequency, intensity) and sea level rise is expected to exacerbate damages, therefore driving the need for more resilient flood and coastal storm risk management efforts to protect coastal communities, critical infrastructure, and ecosystems. The Coastal Hazards System (CHS) (https://chs.erdc.dren.mil) was developed by the USACE in direct response to the need for high quality hazard information to support coastal resiliency. CHS is a multi-agency, national scale effort for the accurate, efficient, and consistent quantification of coastal storm hazards for all U.S. coastlines and other locations of significance for national security. The primary objective of the CHS is the development and provision of high-fidelity, high-resolution probabilistic coastal storm hazard and process-based numerical modeling data covering the full probability space of coastal storm responses (e.g., storm surge, waves) for direct application in coastal engineering and risk assessment activities.

Abstract:

The German federal state of Schleswig-Holstein is developing a Baltic Sea Coast 2100 strategy under the leadership of the Ministry for Energy Transition, Climate Protection, Environment and Nature. The aim of the strategy is a sustainable adaptation of the coastal region to climate change, taking into account the demands of nature conservation, tourism and coastal protection. Basis for this strategy is detailed information on the current status and possible future changes in coastal hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics, including morphological changes. In a joint research project from 2019 to 2023, the Institute of River and Coastal Engineering of Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) carried out model-based investigations to describe and analyze currents and transport processes along the entire Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein (greater than 400 km) for the current state as well as for possible future conditions, taking into account various scenarios for sea level rise and climate change-induced changes of wind conditions.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to present the multidisciplinary approach adopted to undertake a detailed coastal flood and erosion risk management investigation at Cloughaninchy beach (Ireland). The site was severely affected by a series of extreme events with extreme high tide combined with a severe sea swell and onshore winds resulting in severe damage due to flooding and wave action as well as substantial retreat of the dune system. Based on a comprehensive assessment and multidisciplinary studies an appropriate plan was subsequently developed to best manage the risks identified and to further assess the feasibility of the recommended management plan options and measures. The project is an example of how vital the integration of specialized disciplines (coastal engineering, hydraulic flood modelling and coastal morphology) is in the determination of the appropriate protection measures for coastal sites.

Full text

Abstract:

Coastal communities are increasingly vulnerable to multi- hazard events such as storm surges, riverine flooding, and precipitation-induced runoff. Current engineering practices and risk management strategies necessitate a comprehensive assessment of these concurrent risks to effectively mitigate potential damages. Traditional methods, including those outlined in the North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study (NACCS) by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE, 2015), tend to focus on storm surge and wave contributions on coastal flooding, and less so combined effects of precipitation. Advancements in climate science suggest a shifting baseline for the frequency and intensity of these events under climate change scenarios, although associated with uncertainties. Despite these uncertainties, there is a need for tools that integrate predicted climate change impacts into coastal flooding hazard evaluations, thereby enhancing the alignment of engineering practices with applied climate and weather research. This presentation introduces a framework for evaluating coastal flood risks incorporating the effects of climate change.

Abstract:

Caofeidian sea area is the only natural site suitable for building a large-sized berth of 300 000 tons without excavation of waterways and harbor basins in Bohai Bay. In Caofeidian harbor area, the stability of the shoals-inlets coastal system under natural conditions is a key point. The harbor could be developed only if the coastal system is stable. In this paper the characteristics of waves, tidal currents, sedimentation and seabed evolution in the Caofeidian shoal area is briefly described, and the trend of stability of shoals and channels is predicted based on research on the coastal system formation. Engineering effect of some projects, such as the dam linking the Caofeidian Island and the coastline, the shoal reclamation and ore terminal construction, is also studied. The analysis show that deposition and erosion of the seabed in front of Caofeidian foreland will reach its equilibrium in 2～3 years after the implementation of the proposed scheme.

The 300 km coastline (60 km of which are inerodible rocky coasts) has been subdivided in 8 main “independent” Physiographic Units and in shorter secondary cells with a discretization of 815 transects of 300 m length. The work was divided in 3 phases: 1) organization of existing datasets; 2) analysis of the present situation; 3) definition of most critical coastal areas and protection strategies and guidelines.

Abstract:

Coastal flood frequencies are expected to increase around the world due to sea-level rise (SLR). This is largely related to the emergence of tidal flooding, where coastal flood thresholds are exceeded by astronomical tides alone. We will discuss the concept of tidal flooding and the observed trends from Australia and the United States. We then apply a new risk assessment framework (Hague et al. 2022) to identify which locations are most vulnerable to chronic flooding due to SLR this century. Finally, we discuss the implications of a global application of this framework for coastal engineering and management applications.

Abstract:

Wave attenuation provided by coastal ecosystems, including seagrass, mangroves, and saltmarsh, has been well studied in coastal engineering literature, but results are often not comparable due to differences in experimental methods, reporting units and a lack of complete published datasets. Many coastal ecology and conservation studies aim to qualitatively quantify the value of these ecosystems for coastal protection. However, without data reported in a comparable format, quantitative values are not finding their way into the ecology literature, contributing to the misconception that ‘rules of thumb’ exist for predicting coastal protection. To alleviate the challenges of non-comparable data and incomplete datasets, the drag coefficient (CD) is a useful tool to quantify and compare wave attenuation provided by different ecosystems. Using seagrass as a case study, we conducted a meta-analysis of 119 seagrass-wave attenuation studies both in the field and in laboratory experiments, of which 11 were eligible for inclusion in our study (Twomey et al., 2020).

Abstract:

The availability of public satellite imagery, combined with advanced image processing, machine learning and cloud computing, triggered an unprecedented flow of information relevant to the coastal engineering community. From satellite imagery we can nowadays for example derive subtidal bathymetry, beach slopes, beach sediment types and coastline dynamics, at accuracies that increasingly allow for engineering applications. Regarding the latter two, global datasets on the occurrence of sandy beaches and historic shorelines have recently become available (Luijendijk et al., 2018). The high spatial and temporal resolution of this information yields more comprehensive understanding of our coasts and its dynamics (see Figure 1). This is not only of great added value in data-poor environments, it will also allow for more cost-effective coastal monitoring in data rich environments as the necessity of in-situ measurements will reduce in future. In this study we will expose the main drivers for coastal change for sandy and muddy coasts using satellite-derived shoreline (SDS) and machine learning algorithms.

Extreme coastal storms have a destructive impact on coastal areas and directly affect people living in the coastal zone, being this emphasized by recent events (e.g. Katrina, Xynthia) which reminded the world of the vulnerability of coastal areas. The economic constraints and the increasing vulnerability of coastal areas (due to sea level rise and to increased occupation) make it impossible to continue with a coastal zone management strategy based solely on engineering schemes to protect vulnerable coastal areas across Europe. Development tools and methods that improve today’s forecasting, prediction and early warning capabilities in order to improve the assessment of coastal vulnerability and risks are strongly needed and should be part of future prevention, mitigation and preparedness measures. Within the MICORE project online operational storm early warning systems (CEWSs) using open-source models and tools for reliable predictions of the morphological impact of marine storm events were developed and demonstrated. The system makes use of existing off-the-shelf models as well as a state of the art open-source morphological model (XBeach). The project specifically targeted the development of early warning and information systems to support a short term emergency response in case of an extreme storm event (CEWS). The current paper describes the applied system architecture, the model set-up and the storm impact indicator (SII) oriented approach. It also highlights the need for further developments and application.

Abstract:

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are increasingly being considered for implementation in coastal engineering projects around the world as a means of enhancing coastal protection, resiliency, and sustainability. With this increased emphasis on nature-based features, the need to evaluate the efficacy of NbS project designs has never been greater. Numerical models are powerful tools that can be leveraged to assess and quantify the hydrodynamic impact and protective capacity of nature- based features. However, numerical modeling of NbS is often difficult due to the amount of time and expertise required, as well as the lack of standardized approaches within the modeling co mmun ity of practice for characterizing these features. In order to address this need, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Engineering With Nature® (EWN) program has funded researchers from USACE’s Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to develop a tool called the Engineering With Nature® Modeling Toolkit to streamline and standardize the incorporation of Nature-based Solutions in numerical model frameworks.

Abstract:

A coastal storm-strength parameter, the Coastal Storm Impulse (COSI) parameter was introduced at the ICCE 2006 (San Diego) and further discussed in the ICCE 2008 (Hamburg) and ICCE 2010 (Shanghai) proceedings. COSI is based on the conservation of linear, horizontal momentum to combine storm surge, wave dynamics, and currents over the storm duration. Both tropical storms (hurricanes) and extra-tropical storms (low-pressure fronts) can produce similar COSI parameters. Analysis of coastal storms over a 10 year period (1994-2003) of measured data at the Corps of Engineers, Field Research Facility (FRF), Duck, NC showed the need to modify the original method to (1) use the mean, nonlinear wave momentum flux, and (2) use only the spikes in storm surge when elevated water levels are above the mean high water level of the tide. This paper presents the full details of how to calculate the modified COSI parameter; the modified results for the 10-yr Duck data set and suggest possible applications to develop fragility curves for coastal engineering design. Clearly, fragility curves are needed to quantify risk and hence resilience in coastal systems design. The intensity of the “load” or “disturbance”, i.e. the severity of the coastal storm must be quantified to develop fragility curves. Excess water levels (storm surge), wave conditions (height, period, direction) and storm duration all contribute to the intensity of a coastal storm. How to combine these three factors has long been a concern of coastal scientists and engineers.

Abstract:

The economic and social importance of coastal areas combined with their growing erosion problems and climate change impacts allows anticipating an increase in investments in these areas. In the past, strategies to mitigate territorial losses or property damage have been mainly reactive, non-inclusive, non-participatory, and locked-in technical solutions. Moreover, cost-benefit assessments of Coastal and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) plans are still scarce, underused and poorly understood. So, the goal of this work is to contribute to a complete characterization of coastal erosion mitigation and climate change adaptation strategies and their implementation measures by considering a participatory approach that integrates medium to long-term perspectives, combining, simultaneously, social, environmental, economic and engineering dimensions, to help decision-makers implementing sustainable future-proof CCA strategies.

Abstract:

Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) are increasingly growing in popularity as flood risk reduction measures. However, the implementation of these systems is hampered by barriers, including the lack of engineering design methodologies. Existing engineering design methodologies for traditional coastal infrastructure cannot be directly applied to NNBF systems, because NNBF systems contain additional uncertainties. For example, vegetation experiences natural growth and mortality, affecting the engineering parameters associated with its flood protection capabilities. Performance-based design (PBD) describes a type of engineering design methodology that relies on designing a system to meet a set of performance objectives. The focus on performance, rather than known failure thresholds, makes PBD an appropriate methodology for new technologies (Atkan et al. 2007). Furthermore, PBD allows for the direct incorporation of uncertainties due to vegetation. PBD methodologies already exist in coastal engineering design. For example, Goda (2010) outlined the development of PBD for the design of caisson breakwaters. To develop an engineering design methodology for emergent vegetation systems, Ostrow (2023) expanded the existing method in Goda (2010), adding extra steps to quantify the engineering characteristics of vegetation. This paper describes the model in Ostrow (2023), improvements made to the model, and the application of the model to climate change.

Abstract:

This paper presents the outcome of a coastal engineering hydro and morpho-dynamic model study using a number of numerical models which was conducted by the author on the erosion state of the Mediterranean coast of Israel for a time horizon of 100 years. The study assessed future sea levels, and compared wave setup and runup and beach profile erosion at the coastal cliffs in order to determine the relative sensitivity of the various coastal sectors of the Israeli shore. Finally it investigated measures and means for effective the mitigation of the forecasted beach and cliff erosion. The study was carried out as part of a multi disciplinary work involving various additional disciplines, and was used to establish a national policy document in regards to the coastal cliffs collapse and erosion by natural and anthropogenic induced factors, including global warming induced sea level rise and reduced return period of extreme events. The approach and outcomes are estimated to be useful for coasts of similar conditions elsewhere on the globe.

Abstract:

The Halligen in the Northfrisian part of the UNESCO – World Natural Heritage Wadden Sea are exposed to extreme storm surges due to climate change and sea level rise. Existing coastal protection measures in this area do not consider the future sea state and are mainly based on tradition and expert knowledge. The presented work is part of the project ZukunftHallig (supported by the German Coastal Engineering Research Council) and has the main objective to design and evaluate new coastal protection techniques and management strategies for the Halligen. With numerical simulations hydrological parameters are investigated. Furthermore sensitivity analyses expose possible variations in future storm surges and illustrate the difference in significant wave heights for varying wind climates. This risk based approach of the project is a suitable way to ensure life for future generations on these islands under sustainable ecological und economic conditions.

Abstract:

When calculating the Carbon Footprint for a product or service, a direct link is made between the total amount of consumed energy and the produced amount of carbon dioxide during production. For that reason calculating the carbon footprint of various alternatives is a very straightforward method to compare energy consumption and more importantly environmental pollution. Applying this method to large hydraulic engineering projects is not being done frequently. In this study the possibilities to apply the Carbon Footprint method to coastal protection systems have been explored and analyzed. The analyses are based on a case study: A reinforcement work at the Dutch coast.

Abstract:

Faced with the escalating challenges posed by climate change, such as rising sea levels, intensified storm events, and environmental unpredictability, the field of coastal engineering has been shifting towards developing solutions that promote and preserve environmental resilience and sustainability (Morris, Boxshall and Swearer, 2020). These solutions seek to enhance or work with nature and natural processes, rather than against them. While there are opportunities to incorporate nature and natural processes into shoreline protection works at inshore and estuarine coastal environments with milder wave conditions, such as the Huon Mundy oyster reefs (King et al., 2023), there are fewer effective nature-based options available for higher-wave energy open coasts. This paper explores past project examples and experiences of the various approaches to working with nature, including along high-wave energy open-coastal environments; the present state of nature-based solutions, their challenges, and opportunities; and how we may be able to better work with nature in the future to produce the best outcomes for our coastlines through building resilience, sustainability and preserving of coastal values. It should also be noted that this paper serves to continue the conversation on future nature-based practices.

Full text

Abstract:

Economic and population growth have led to an unprecedented increase in the value at risk in coastal zones over the last century. To avoid excessive future losses, particularly in the light of projected climate change impacts, coastal zone managers have various instruments at their disposal. These primarily concern land-use planning (establishing buffer zones) and engineering solutions (beach nourishment and coastal protection). In this paper, we focus on risk mitigation through the implementation of buffer zones (setback lines). Foregoing land-use opportunities in coastal regions and protecting coasts is costly, but so is damage caused by inundation and storm erosion. Defining appropriate setback lines for land-use planning purposes is a balancing act. It is however unclear what level of protection is facilitated by current approaches for defining setback lines, and whether this is, at least from an economic perspective, sufficient. In this paper, we present an economic model to determine which setback lines would be optimal from an economic perspective. The results provide a useful reference point in the political debate about the acceptability of risk in coastal zones. The main conclusions are (i) that it is useful to define setback lines on the basis of their exceedance probabilities, (ii) that the exceedance probability of an economically efficient setback line will typically be in the order of magnitude of 1/100 per year, (iii) that it is important to distinguish between situations in which morphological conditions are stationary and non-stationary, and (iv) that long-term uncertainties (e.g. due to climate change) influence the exceedance probability of efficient setback lines but only to a limited extent.

Abstract:

High quality seabed data are fundamental to a wide range of engineering, management and science research applications stretching from shallow-water coastal environments, across the shelf and out on to the abyssal sea floor. Coastal applications require high-resolution, quality bathymetry data to support models for understanding currents and waves, sediment transport and erosion, hazard and risk assessment as well as ensuring safe navigation and informing development associated with infrastructure and commercial projects. Combined with other seabed data types, the information supports research around changing climate and marine biodiversity and provides development opportunities associated with energy and food production in support of the Blue Economy.

Full text

Abstract:

It has been widely demonstrated in literature that coastal marshes provide positive ecosystem services related to coastal protection, including wave attenuation, storm surge reduction, and erosion prevention (Moller et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2021; Paul and Kerpen, 2021). Physical modelling presents a useful tool for investigating the coastal protection function provided by marsh vegetation in a controlled, repeatable environment, to inform design of nature-based coastal protection strategies, or “nature-based solutions” (NBS). To date, physical modelling studies have been used to investigate the influence of plant biophysical parameters (stem width, stem height, stem flexibility) and hydrodynamic conditions on wave attenuation (e.g., Augustin et al., 2009; Anderson and Smith, 2014; Moller et al., 2014; Ozeren et al., 2014; van Veelen et al., 2020). Such studies have predominantly used surrogate vegetation due to the logistical challenges and facility requirements associated with live plant experiments. Furthermore, most studies have been performed at or near full-scale to reduce uncertainties and scale effects associated with downscaling vegetation, particularly where Reynolds number similarity cannot be preserved (Blackmar et al., 2014). To address existing knowledge gaps related to physical modelling of marsh vegetation at small-scale, experiments were conducted in a 63 m long by 1.22 m wide wave flume at the National Research Council of Canada’s Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre, Ottawa, in collaboration with the University of Ottawa and the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, Quebec City.

Full text

Abstract:

Robust characterization of the future tsunami hazard is critically important for resilient planning and engineering in coastal communities prone to tsunami inundation. The hazard from earthquake-generated tsunami waves is not only determined by the earthquake's characteristics and distance to the earthquake area, but also by the geomorphology of the nearshore and onshore areas, which can change over time. In coastal hazard assessments, a changing coastal environment is commonly taken into account by increasing the sea-level to projected values (static). However, sea-level changes and other climate-change impacts influence the entire coastal system causing morphological change (dynamic). Here, we present the modeling framework and results initially published in Weiss et al. (2022), which employs within a Monte Carlo framework the barrier island-marsh, lagoon- marsh evolution model of Lorenzo-Trueba and Mariotti (2017) and the tsunami model Geoclaw (e.g., LeVeque et al. 2011). We compare the runup of the same suite of earthquake-generated tsunamis to a barrier system for statically adjusted and dynamically adjusted sea level and bathymetry over the period from 2000 to 2100. We employ Representative Concentration Pathways 2.6 and 8.5 without and with treatment of Antarctic ice-sheet processes (e.g., Kopp et al. 2017) as different sea-level projections.

Abstract:

Sea stars (starfish) predate on various shellfish such as mussels and clams, and can have a negative impact on the blue-mussel production and aquaculture. This has encouraged the harvesting of sea stars to protect blue mussels and clams from predation, but they are also targeted commercially, as a valuable protein source used e.g. in animal feed. Towed fishing gears can be used to harvest sea stars in coastal regions, however, little is known scientifically about the hydrodynamics around these gears. To better understand the hydrodynamics around towed fishing gears, an experimental investigation has been carried out in a current flume within the DTU Civil and Mechanical Engineering Hydraulics Laboratory.

Full text

Abstract:

Among the newest strategies are nature-based solutions based on coastal ecosystems (Spalding et al., 2014; Jongman 2018). Such solutions have several co-benefits, such as habitat creation, increased water quality or carbon sequestration. However, these solutions may not be effective on their own in high-risk areas or in areas where there is not enough space for their implementation. In these cases, the union of conventional engineering with these nature-based solutions, the so-called hybrid solutions, can represent an optimal solution that provides the necessary risk reduction while reporting the cobenefits associated with natural solutions (Sutton-Grier et al., 2015; Vuik et al., 2016). This makes hybrid solutions a highly attractive option in which there is a growing interest. However, their relatively novel character, the few real cases implemented and the need for a strong integration of knowledge linking different disciplines pose a series of gaps in knowledge. To this end, an experimental campaign is proposed to study different typologies of hybrid solutions. The interaction between the ecosystem and the hard structure is studied to better understand the coastal protection service provided by the joint solution. To compare the performance of the different hybrid solutions, wave run-up over the rigid structure is analyzed and it is compared to the run-up obtained for the traditional rigid solution.

Abstract:

As sea levels continue to rise, coastal communities are searching for strategies to reduce flooding of low-lying roads, property, and stormwater drainage networks. Here we focus on the development of adaptation strategies for communities that experience flooding outside of extreme storms like hurricanes due to sea level rise (SLR). Processes that contribute to these floods can include tides, rainfall, wind setup, groundwater, and infrastructure failure (Gold et al., 2023). Here we present a framework to test the effectiveness of adaptation strategies in reducing multi-driver chronic flooding at both current and future sea levels. This framework integrates coastal engineering and stakeholder input to 1) identify adaptation strategies that are preferred by a community that frequently floods and 2) test the effectiveness of these strategies with a numerical model under both current and future conditions.

Although the impact of climate change impact on the wave climate became clear after IPCC 5th (2012) and 6th (2021) Assessment Reports, the characteristics of natural variability, ENSO, North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and others in the wave climate system. The evaluation and the impact of historical climate variability on the wave climate system are important global and regional coastal feature understandings (e.g., Casas- Prat, 2023). This study develops a highly accurate statistical analysis for global and regional wave climate by introducing the principal component information of the atmospheric field from a wide-area atmospheric field with regional wind and pressure fields. We discuss the role of global and regional atmospheric weather systems on the regional monthly wave climate.

Beach topographic and hydrodynamic measurements are essential for coastal geology and engineering studies as well as sustainable coastal management. Standard approaches involve either time-consuming manual data acquisition usually with limited coverage or remote sensing techniques which are usually characterized by low resolution or increased costs. The present contribution reports the results from the application of the autonomous robot RTS-Hanna with a calibrated sensor setup including 3D laser range scanners, a camera, a Differential GPS and an inertial measurement unit which significantly facilitates field data collection. RTS-Hanna was tested at the Wadden Sea Barrier Island Langeoog, Northern Germany, for two days and was proven capable of autonomously collecting topographic scans. 175 GB of dense topographic and water surface elevation data were collected, including RBG images, while RTS-Hanna covered a total of 21 km of coastline in approximately 3 hours. Scans of the surf/swash zone allowed continuous measurements of topographic changes at the beachface, wave propagation velocities and wave breaking heights.

Full text

Abstract:

Flooding in many coastal regions is exacerbated due to complex interactions of multiple flood drivers such as rainfall-runoff and coastal surge which can occur simultaneously or sequentially during storm events, leading to compound flooding hazards. The Texas Gulf Coasts (USA) are especially vulnerable from compound flooding due to frequent occurrence of tropical storms which bring strong winds to drive storm surge and heavy rainfall to generate inland flooding. Large scale studies {Coastal Texas Restoration and Protection Study (CTX, 2021), Texas General Land Office’s Texas River Basin Study, Base Level Engineering Study} are being conducted by state and federal agencies for flood hazard assessment and for development of mitigation and abatement strategies for reducing this risk and increasing community resilience. Traditionally, large scale storm surge models do not account for runoff contributions to water levels in the interior of their domain. Riverine models for their part use either normal depth or mean high water levels to assign downstream boundary conditions within tidally influenced area, thus ignoring effects of storm surge. In this Planning Assistance to States (PAS) study, located in the Lower Clear Creek and Dickinson Bayou watersheds (Texas, USA), we have evaluated rainfall-runoff and storm surge interactions to determine suitable locations to use as model boundary conditions for exchanging data between rainfall-runoff and surge models under compound flooding conditions.
