In this project, MACH researcher Doyup Kwon focuses on quantifying historical and future storm tide risk due to both tropical cyclones (hurricanes) and winter storms (nor'easters) in the northeast United States, a region known to be impacted by both types of phenomena. By using hydrodynamic models to simulate the movement of water by high-power wind events during both historical and future climate scenarios, the project aims to gain a holistic understanding of the variations in storm tide risk in the area. Results will also be used as input for analysis of local compound flooding, the combined action of key contributors to flooding such as storm surge, rainfall, and river water volume.

This work was previously led by MACH alumn Amirhosein Begmohammadi.
