Engineering Resilient Coasts for a Changing Climate

The Climate-Resilient Coastal Systems (CReCS) Lab investigates compound coastal hazards and assesses their impacts and risks to help build more resilient coastal communities.

Research areas

Coastal Hazard Modeling Compound Flooding Computational & Experimental Hydraulics Climate Risk & Resilience

Our Research

From physical processes to societal resilience

Our research connects coastal processes, hazard interactions, and societal impacts to support science-based climate adaptation.

01

Coastal Hazard Modeling

We simulate typhoons, waves, storm surges, and tides to understand and predict coastal hazards.

Typhoons Waves Storm Surge Tides
02

Compound Flooding

We examine interactions among storm surge, waves, rainfall-runoff, drainage systems, and coastal defenses.

Surge–Wave Rainfall–Runoff Drainage Overtopping
03

Computational & Experimental Hydraulics

We combine numerical analysis and hydraulic experiments to investigate complex coastal and urban flows.

Numerical Models Hydraulic Experiments Validation
04

Climate Risk & Resilience

We assess socioeconomic impacts and explore pathways for climate adaptation and coastal resilience.
