Inspiration Dissemination

Kai Parker, a 5th year PhD student in the Coastal Engineering program, is including climate change and a host of other factors to develop a model to predict flood hazard zones. Factors include: waves, tides, storms, atmospheric force, streamflow, among others. He develops models for estuaries such as Coos and Tillamook Bay, Oregon and Grays Harbor, estuaries in Washington. Not only is Kai working to incorporate those natural factors into his flood model, he has also worked with communities to incorporate their response to coastal hazards and the factors that are most important to them into his model.
