Description:

The prediction, analysis, and mapping of flood water levels for coastines significantly impacted by rivers is a complex challenge. There are often significant differences in modeling strategies and algorithms for rivers and streams versus coastal waters, but both models depend on receiving and passing specific data on water conditions along a dynamic and variable interface. This session explores some of the latest techniques and applications for combining hydrologic, hydraulic, and coastal models for addressing the dynamic interactions that occur between rivers, streams, lakes, oceans, and estuaries. Presentations are sought on established or emerging modeling applications for coupled river/coastal modeling applications.
