Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to coastal storms and their associated impacts Coastal Storms offers students and professionals in the field a comprehensive overview and groundbreaking text that is specifically devoted to the analysis of coastal storms. Based on the most recent knowledge and contributions from leading researchers, the text examines coastal storms’ processes and characteristics, the main hazards (such as overwash, inundation and flooding, erosion, structures overtopping), and how to monitor and model storms. The authors include information on the most advanced innovations in forecasting, prediction, and early warning, which serves as a foundation for accurate risk evaluation and developing adequate coastal indicators and management options. In addition, structural overtopping and damage are explained, taking into account the involved hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes. The monitoring methods of coastal storms are analyzed based on recent results from research projects in Europe and the United States. Methods for vulnerability and risk evaluation are detailed, storm impact indicators are suggested for different hazards and coastal management procedures analyzed. This important resource includes: Comprehensive coverage of storms and associated impacts, including meteorological coastal storm definitions and related potential consequences A state-of-the-art reference for advanced students, professionals and researchers in the field Chapters on monitoring methods of coastal storms, their prediction, early warning systems, and modeling of consequences Explorations of methods for vulnerability and risk evaluation and suggestions for storm impact indicators for different hazards and coastal management procedures Coastal Storms is a compilation of scientific and policy-related knowledge related to climate-related extreme events. The authors are internationally recognized experts and their work reflects the most recent science and policy advances in the field.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A two-dimensional time-dependent, open-coast, long-wave, shallow-water model is presented. The model employs an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system with telescoping computing cells. This permits greater resolution of the wave in the nearshore coastal region where principal interest is focused rather than at the continental shelf break or at far lateral distances from the region. The model treats the coastline as a finite height barrier which is broken with bay entrances. Coastal overtopping and bay communication with the open sea provide the means for the transport of water across the nominal coastline. Mass is conserved with all water lost from the ocean during the flood stage being stored in discrete bay ponding areas. Each ponding area is described by its particular storage area curve and its particular series of coastline computing grid segments. A prediction/correction method is employed for the computation of the coastal water level. The model has been employed in various tide and storm surge studies. In particular, surge results are presented from four historical hurricanes that affected the Louisiana coast. The numerical programs are documented in Report 2 of this series. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change threatens the economy of the United States in myriad ways, including increased flooding and storm damage, altered crop yields, lost labor productivity, higher crime, reshaped public-health patterns, and strained energy systems, among many other effects. Combining the latest climate models, state-of-the-art econometric research on human responses to climate, and cutting-edge private-sector risk-assessment tools, Economic Risks of Climate Change: An American Prospectus crafts a game-changing profile of the economic risks of climate change in the United States. This prospectus is based on a critically acclaimed independent assessment of the economic risks posed by climate change commissioned by the Risky Business Project. With new contributions from Karen Fisher-Vanden, Michael Greenstone, Geoffrey Heal, Michael Oppenheimer, and Nicholas Stern and Bob Ward, as well as a foreword from Risky Business cochairs Michael Bloomberg, Henry Paulson, and Thomas Steyer, the book speaks to scientists, researchers, scholars, activists, and policy makers. It depicts the distribution of escalating climate-change risk across the country and assesses its effects on aspects of the economy as varied as hurricane damages and violent crime. Beautifully illustrated and accessibly written, this book is an essential tool for helping businesses and governments prepare for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricanes are incredibly devastating events, constituting seven of the ten most costly U.S. natural disasters since 1980. The development of real-time forecasting models that accurately capture a storm's dynamics play an essential role in informing local officials' emergency management decisions. ADCIRC is one such model that is operationally active in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Hurricane Surge On-Demand Forecast System. However, ADCIRC faces several limitations. It struggles solving highly advective flows and is not locally mass conservative. These aspects limit applicable flow regimes and can cause unphysical behavior. One proposed alternative which addresses these limitations is the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method. However, the DG method's high computational cost makes it unsuitable for real-time forecasting and has limited adoption among coastal engineers. Simultaneously, efforts to build an exascale machine and the resulting power constrained computing architectures have led to massive increases in the concurrency applications are expected to manage. These architectural shifts have in turn caused some groups to turn away from the traditional flat MPI or MPI+OpenMP programming models to more functional task-based programming models, designed specifically to be performant on these next generation architectures. The aim of this thesis is to utilize these new task-based programming models to accelerate DG simulations for coastal applications. We explore two strategies for accelerating the DG method for storm surge simulation. The first strategy addresses load imbalance caused by coastal flooding. During the simulation of hurricane storm surge, cells are classified as either wet or dry. Dry cells can trivially update, while wet cells require full evaluation of the physics. As the storm makes landfall and causes flooding, this generates a load imbalance. We present two load balancing strategies---an asynchronous diffusion-based approach and semi-static approach---to optimize compute resource utilization. These load balancing strategies are analyzed using a discrete-event simulation that models the task-based storm surge simulation. We find speed-ups of up to 56% over the currently used mesh partitioning and up to 97% of the theoretical speed-up. The second strategy focuses on a first order adaptive local timestepping scheme for nonlinear conservation laws. For problems such as hurricane storm surge, the global CFL timestepping constraint is overly stringent for the majority of cells. We present a timestepping scheme that allows cells to stably advance based on local stability constraints. Since allowable timestep sizes depend on the state of the solution, care must be taken not to incur causality errors. The algorithm is accompanied with a proof of formal correctness that ensures that with a sufficiently small minimum timestep, the solution exhibits desired characteristics such as a maximum principle and total variation stability. The algorithm is parallelized using a speculative discrete event simulator. Performance results show that the implementation recovers 59%-77% of the optimal speed-up

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large part of the world’s coastlines consists of sandy beaches and dunes that may undergo dramatic changes during storms. Extreme storm events in some cases dominate the erosion history of the coastline and may have dramatic impacts on densely populated coastal areas. Policy, research and historical background are essential elements that need to be interconnected for effective coastal planning and management. This book discusses this framework, with Chapter 1 providing an insight into policy settings and science-policy interactions in the area of coastal risks related to storms and flooding, and integrated coastal zone management. This is followed by a review of the current understanding of the processes generating extreme coastal events, the morphological evolution of coastlines during and after the events, and the methods for monitoring the process as it occurs or for post-event appraisal. The final chapter discusses the importance of historical approaches regarding coastal threats, taking the Xynthia storm as an example.
