Coastal hazards related to strong storms are one of the most frequently recurring and wide spread hazards to coastal communities today and in the future. These flooding hazards include storm surge, wind-waves and extreme precipitation all of which are predicted to grow in danger with climate change impacts. The purpose of this workshop is to gather people from across the academic and government to discuss what future directions computational modeling of these hazards is going and should go to better enable protection of our coastlines under the current and future threat of climate change.

Featured speakers include:

Brian Blanton
Director of Environmental Initiatives and Coastal Oceanographer
Renaissance Computing Institute / University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Andrew Kennedy
Professor, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering & Earth Sciences,
College of Engineering, University of Notre Dame

Saeed Moghimi
NOAA/UCAR Scientist, Coast Survey Development Lab,
Office of Coast Survey, National Ocean Service, NOAA

Don Resio
Professor / Director, Taylor Engineering Research Institute,
College of Computing, Engineering & Construction

Workshop organizer: Kyle Mandli, Applied Physics & Applied Mathematics, Columbia University
