Coastal Protection
Coastal management is essential to protecting shorelines against erosion, flooding and storms, especially considering climate change issues such as sea-level rise.
We can create sustainable coastal environments, protect shorelines and enhance land values with solutions including”

Coastal Climate Change Adaptation
Glacier melting due to global warming causes sea level rise leading to reduced water transport capacity of rivers in low downstream areas, increased risk of flooding during extreme rainfall and increasing level and extent of saline intrusion during droughts.
Storm surges or extreme rainfall precipitation can do devastating damage on their own. A combination of the two, termed compound flooding, can create higher flood levels, prolonged flooding events and reach further inland than anticipated (Figure 1).
However, compound flooding is complex and is generally not considered in current flood forecasting and prevention planning. Urban drainage and coastal flooding are usually modeled using separate software and do not represent a good assessment of severe flood risk for coastal cities. This is especially true given rising sea levels and the increasing frequency of extreme rainfall/storm surge events due to climate change.
The SJ-NTU Corporate Lab Flood Resiliency Project has developed a 3D Compound Flooding model to determine the complex joint effects of heavy precipitation and storm surges. The compound flooding model will seamlessly integrate 3D near shore coastal process models with 2D urban catchment models, to enable forecasting of flooding risks due to a combined impact of precipitation and storm surges.
