Mangroves are a natural feature that enhance the resilience of natural and built coastal environments worldwide. They mitigate the impacts of hurricanes by dissipating energy from storm surges and waves, as well as reducing wind speeds. To incorporate ma...

During every Atlantic hurricane season, storms represent a constant risk to Texan coastal communities and other communities along the Atlantic coast of the United States. A storm surge refers to the abnormal rise of sea water level due to hurricanes and ...

Hurricane storm surges are influenced by wind intensity, forward speed, width and slope of the ocean bottom, central pressure, angle of approach, shape of coastal lines, local features, and storm size. A numerical experiment is conducted using the Advanc...

Surrogate models, also referenced as metamodels, have emerged as attractive data-driven, predictive models for storm surge estimation. They are calibrated based on an existing database of synthetic storm simulations and can provide fast-to-compute approx...

In this study, it is demonstrated that hurricane wind intensity, forward speed, pressure, and track play an important role on the generation and propagation of coastal storm surges. Hurricane Irma, which heavily impacted the entire Florida peninsula in 2...

Hurricane Irma, in 2017, made an unusual landfall in South Florida and the unpredictability of the hurricane?s path challenged the evacuation process seriously and left many evacuees clueless. It was likely to hit Southeast Florida but suddenly shifted i...

During landfalling tropical storms, predictions of the expected storm surge are critical for guiding evacuation and emergency response/preparedness decisions, both at regional and national levels. Forecast errors related to storm track, intensity, and si...

Previous studies on the role of hurricanes in Mexico?s Gulf of California examined coastal boulder deposits (CBDs) eroded from limestone and rhyolite sea cliffs. Sedimentary and volcanic in origin, these lithotypes are less extensively expressed as rocky...
