This was my presentation for the Virtual International Conference on Coastal Engineering (vICCE). Unfortuanely due to COVID19, ICCE 2020 which was originally scheduled to be held in Sydney has been postponed to 2022, and vICCE took its place.
Here, I describe some of the work I’m undertaking looking at how we can categorize coastal storm hazards using a new Storm Hazard Matrix. Because in the differences in coastal settings and storm hydrodyanmics, both flooding and erosion hazard should be considered distinctly. I apply the new matrix approach to two extreme storm events: 1) the 2016 East Coast Low impacting south east Australian and 2) Hurricane Ivan which impacted the gulf coast of Florida in 2004. This work is currently being prepared, to be submitted for publication soon.
