Abstract

Sea-level changes in coasts and estuaries may differ substantially from global mean sea-level variations, showing complex spatial patterns which result from coastal-ocean dynamic processes, movements of the sea floor, and changes in gravity due to water mass redistribution. Because dominant hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes in coastal and estuarine zones are unsteady and of multi-scale, assessment of hazardous storms under the future sea-level rise heavily relies on numerical simulations of dynamic responses to sea-level rise and storm conditions. Thus, this chapter focuses on the following three objectives: (1) investigation of the impacts of hazardous storms/hurricanes and sea-level rise on coasts and estuaries, (2) review of impact assessment approaches by using numerical simulation models, and (3) demonstration of impact assessment of coastal floods and erosions under the combined conditions of hazardous storms (extreme events) and the future sea-level rise scenarios. It emphasizes a systematic approach for the impact assessment of sea-level rise by using integrated coastal process models which are widely used to simulate coastal/estuarine hydrodynamic and morphodynamic processes to predict flooding/inundation and coastline erosion/deposition under complex hydrological, morphological, oceanographic, and meteorological conditions. It also demonstrates an application of an integrated coastal model, CCHE2D-Coast, to simulate waves, tides, sediment transport, and morphological changes in an estuary and to predict the hydrodynamic and morphodynamic impacts of hazardous storms and five hypothetical sea-level rise scenarios. It shows that the integrated physical process modeling technique is the most effective method to predict the impact of spatially varying mean sea-level changes in coasts and estuaries and to facilitate coastal flood management, erosion protection, and infrastructure designing/planning against extreme hydrological conditions and climate changes.
