• Objective: quantify coastal compound
hazards for frequency and infrequent
events + SLR
• 200-meter resolution with 1m subgrid
lookup tables for topo-bathymetry
• Newly implemented Curve Number
method to compute on-the-fly
infiltration rates
• Work jointly with USGS. Soon to be
published in Coastal Engineering –
Nederhoff et al.

• Tidal validation across 80 stations:
median MAE of 8.3 cm
• Storm validation for 24 NOAA
stations for 198 events: MAE of 11.9
cm
• Detailed validation of Hurricane
Florence (2018)
− Time-series coastal stations look good
− Larger mismatch with inland
observations
6. Estimates of extremes have scatter and bias which
increases with water level: riverine versus coastal

10
• Objective: new tool to remove modeling
bottlenecks and to empowers local
communities to understand risk & evaluate
• Computational core:
− Hazard model: SFINCS
− Damage model Delft-FIAT
• Commissioned Department of Homeland
Security. The City of Charleston pilot application
• Tool available online www.deltares-usa.us under
‘Free Software’

• Objective: forecast the wave, surge,
currents, sediment transport,
morphological change, breaches,
flooding and structure response
• Deterministic approach: see
presentation Maarten van Ormondt
− Large-scale surge and wave models
− Local-scale: 2D-XBeach models
• Probabilistic approach: need for
100s of ensemble members
• Work jointly with NRL & USGS
15. Ensemble members days before landfall (n=1000)
created with DeMaria method to account uncertainty

• Eventual objective is quantifying
coastal flooding across 1000s km reef-
lined coasts
• Work jointly with USGS to assess
accuracy in reproducing wave-driven
flooding
• Soon to be published in Coastal
Engineering by Camila Gaido (UCSC)

• Incoming waves and wave
setup by XBeach
Propagating by SFINCS
• Overestimate water level
locally, but underestimations
possible too
• Speed >10,000x faster
− XBeach: 8 days
− SFINCS: 60 seconds

1. Modeling needs to be faster: need for speed!
− Large-scale brute force computations
− Rapid assessments for desktop studies
− Forecasting 100s of ensemble member for extreme weather impacts
2. Compound flooding requires taking into account more-and-more processs
− SFINCS (with subgrid) works very well for coastal compound flooding
− Hydrology can be considered in SFINCS, however, model skill should be improved
− Wave-driven flooding via XBeach-1D can be cumbersome + high model resolution can be prohibitive
3. Easy coupling with Delft-FIAT damage tool makes numbers relatable
− The new Delft-FIAT release will be out soon
