Developing New Fast Tools for Assessing Coastal Compound Flood Hazards

Explore cutting-edge tools for assessing coastal compound flood hazards in this informative talk by Tim Leijnse, Researcher and Product Manager at Deltares. Discover how new open-source numerical tools are addressing the challenges of coastal flooding assessments, including the consideration of compound flooding and probabilistic determination. Learn about Python model builders (HydroMT), fast wave models (SnapWave, HurryWave), a synthetic Hurricane generator (TCWiSE), and the fast compound flood model SFINCS. Gain insights into the capabilities of these tools, their applications in various projects and research, and how they enable dynamic modeling of wave-driven effects on large scales. Understand the importance of these developments in protecting coastal communities worldwide from flooding threats caused by various hazards such as storms, tides, waves, river discharges, and heavy rainfall events.
