Coastal Flood Assessment Based on Field Debris Measurements and Wave Runup Empirical Model

Coastal Flood Assessment Based on Field Debris Measurements and Wave Runup Empirical Model

On 6 December 2010, an extra-tropical storm reached Atlantic Canada, causing coastal flooding due to high water levels being driven toward the north shore of Chaleur Bay. The extent of flooding was identified in the field along the coastline at Maria using DGPS. Using the assumption that the maximum...
