Approaches for Estimating Compound Flooding Risk in a Changing Climate

Abstract

Funds are provided to assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of modeling/observational systems capable of predicting compound, flooding risk at the coast in the context of climate change projections. We will develop a comprehensive overview of how different, academic, operational, and commercial groups are approaching this problem, with particular attention on identifying approaches that, use in situ and remote observations to improve modeling skill. Our aim is to identify a set of best practices and a robust framewor,k for estimating compound flood risk at a range of coastal areas, and for embedding these extreme events into a climate projection., Our primary deliverables will be a workshop that examines how scientists, engineers, and coastal stakeholders are approaching this, problem, a comprehensive literature review, and a white paper describing the state-of-the-art in compound flood modeling and consid,ers outstanding research opportunities for advancement.
