Description:

Dynamic coasts are widely recognized as one of the primary areas for weather disasters and loss of life and property. Coastal hazards include but are not limited to storm surges, floods, wave impacts, tsunami, and rip currents. Scientific advancements in observing, modeling, and analysis are needed to improve knowledge about these conditions, enable accurate understanding of coastal hazard risks, and improve prediction and communication of extreme events. Furthermore, consideration of societal factors are critical in assessing coastal hazards. This session will highlight advancements in the assessment and prediction of coastal hazards.
