The Simulation & Evaluation Of Surge Hazard Using A Response Surface Method In The New York Bight, Michael H. Bredesen

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Atmospheric features, such as tropical cyclones, act as a driving mechanism for many of the major hazards affecting coastal areas around the world. Accurate and efficient quantification of tropical cyclone surge hazard is essential to the development of resilient coastal communities, particularly given continued sea level trend concerns.

Appraisal Report On Beach Conditions In Florida, U.S. Army Engineeer District, Jacksonville Corps Of Engineers

Waterways and wildlife

This appraisal study and report on beach conditions in Florida are for the purpose of developing a comprehensive and orderly approach to the serious beach erosion problems of Florida. The study and report evaluate the problems in general terms, and establish a suggested sequence of future studies, along with the estimated costs of those studies. Approximations of the costs of possible future projects, and the degree of possible Federal participation in those projects are developed. PALMM.
