Gabriel Nelson Masters Student Department of Ocean & Resources Engineering University of Hawai’i at Manoa **This defense will be held in-person (HOLM 287) and Zoom** Meeting ID: 884 1267 3489 Passcode: GabrielMS https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/88412673489 Coastal inundation presents a significant and escalating threat to island communities such as Hawaii, driven by rising sea levels and increasing wave activity. Under these circumstances, precise measurement of wave runup is crucial for accurate coastal hazard assessments, effective mitigation strategies, and sound engineering practices. UAV-based photogrammetry paired with the Coastal Imaging Research Network (CIRN) Toolbox offers a powerful tool for coastal image processing. However, CIRN’s standard
