Coastal flood hazards have increasingly become a central concern across the planet, as the changing climate and our understanding of it renders our historical knowledge of the risk to life and property increasingly insufficient. The study of future risk to coastal flooding requires input from a host of climate models, a robust way to evaluate future storm and sea-level rise scenarios, and in-depth knowledge of the local environments, especially in urban settings. Methods for tackling this problem must run over large ensembles, represent complex physics, and handle the inherent uncertainties. This talk will outline some of these challenges and ways we are attempting to address these issues through both mathematical and computational approaches.*Refreshments: 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM (Atrium)
