[su_image_carousel source=”media: 1617″ controls_style=”light” crop=”none” captions=”yes” dots=”no” link=”lightbox”] Compound inundation models have been developed and applied around the world in rich-data regions. However, there are many places, like in the Caribbean, where compound hydrodynamics has not been studied in full detail. For example, Cuba is next to the Florida Panhandle, and their corresponding inundation hydrodynamics…
Natural Infrastructure Master Plan for City of Tybee Island
[su_image_carousel source=”media: 1483,1535,1534,1495,1533,1494,1490,1491,1492,1493″ controls_style=”light” crop=”none” captions=”yes” dots=”no” link=”lightbox”] The Tybee Island Natural Infrastructure Master Plan provides recommendations on integrated nature-based features to help the island better absorb and recover from more frequent storms and flooding caused by rising, warming seas. Developed in collaboration with the University of Georgia and numerous local, state, and federal partners,…
RPH – A Tightly Coupled Overland/River Model Using the Finite Element Method
Compound flooding is defined as a flood event caused by the combined effects of flood drivers. Numerical modeling of compound flood events allows for the design of risk-mitigation strategies but requires simulations of several flooding scenarios. Current modeling techniques cannot simulate multiple processes simultaneously and lose accuracy when modeling compound flood events. This project aims…
Wet Weather Septic System Impact to Water Quality
[su_image_carousel source=”media: 1485,1486,1487,1488,1489,1528″ controls_style=”light” crop=”none” captions=”yes” dots=”no” link=”lightbox”] The purpose of this study is to support the District in evaluating the impact of septic infrastructure on surface water quality in streams within the 15-county metro Atlanta area. Specifically, this study will employ time-sensitive sampling techniques to assess the effects of rain events on interactions between…
