Integrating Climate Change Projections and Hydrodynamic- Wave Modeling for Present and Future Compound Flood Risk
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: As climate change progresses, the likelihood and complexity of compound flooding events—where storm surge, riverine, and precipitation-driven waters converge—are expected to increase (Garzon et.al., 2016). These events pose significant risks to coastal regions worldwide. Traditional flood risk assessments often fall short in capturing the multifaceted nature of such events, leading to potential underestimation of risks. Recognizing this gap, our study aims to present a generalized approach for simulating future climate scenarios that incorporate the intricacies of compound flooding, alongside other critical variables.
