MS Plan A Defense: Evaluation of Coastal Imaging Georectification For Measuring Runup With UAV’s On Hawai’i Beaches
Holmes 287 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluGabriel 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
Seminar: Towards an Operational Dispersive Nearshore Wave Model for Assessment of Coastal Flooding
Holmes 247 2540 Dole Street, HonoluluFatima-Zahra Mihami & Dr. Volker Roeber PhD Student, E2S Chair HPC-Waves Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour, France Location Information: **this seminar will be held both in person (Holmes Hall 247) and over Zoom** Meeting ID: 960 4654 5799 Passcode: OREseminar https://hawaii.zoom.us/j/96046545799 This will be a joint seminar between ORE and CIMAR. Quantitative assessments of wave-driven run-up and inundation scenarios have been of high interest for coastal residents, engineers, emergency managers, and scientists. Computational approaches of coastal flooding from waves only have been widely based on empirical formulations but nowadays make increasingly use of numerical models. Due to
Seminar: Wave runup, forecasting, and enhanced observations with a drone-mounted LiDAR
Zoom Meeting ID______ 935 4503 7290 Passcode: ore792Julia Fiedler, PhD Postdoctoral Scholar Scripps Institution of Oceanography University of California San Diego Storm wave run-up causes beach erosion, wave overtopping, and street flooding. Extreme runup estimates may be improved, relative to predictions from general empirical formulae with default parameter values, by using historical storm waves and eroded profiles in numerical runup simulations. For use in a local flood warning system, the relationship between incident wave energy spectra E(f) and SWASH-modeled shoreline water levels is approximated with the numerically simple integrated power law approximation (IPA), wherein broad and multi-peaked E(f) are accommodated by characterizing wave forcing with frequency-weighted integrals
