Abstract:
This project is focused on the development of empirically-based, numerical functions to predict the flooding along south Atlantic coastal communities. Data from several field gaging stations will be analyzed to ascertain patterns and relationships among driving variables of rainfall and tidal water levels, and the resulting storm flows and water levels in conveyance channels within developed areas. GIS-based numerical simulations of a hypothetical, simplified coastal landscape will also be performed to further elucidate the patterns and relationships among driving variables and resultant flooding.
