Tropical cyclones and storm surge

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Storm surge resulting from strong tropical cyclones (TCs) can lead to catastrophic coastal flooding, causing significant damage to infrastructure, ecosystems, and human lives. With the increase of TC activity and the rise of sea level due to climate change, understanding and predicting storm surge behavior has become a critical aspect of coastal resilience planning and disaster management. This chapter explores a review of storm surge modeling and storm surge risk quantification in the context of climate change.
