Coastal Inundation
Coastal inundation is flooding from the sea. Coastal inundation modelling shows which areas might be flooded in the event of a storm surge and to what depth they may get flooded.
-
Coastal Erosion
Coastal erosion is the loss of land due to coastal processes such as waves and tidal currents wearing away that land suddenly or overtime.
-
Land Instability
Land instability refers to land which has the potential to slip when saturated with water. Generally, it is steep slopes and cliffs prone to slipping.
-
Liquefaction
Liquefaction happens when saturated soils lose strength and stiffness (behaving as a liquid rather than a solid) in response to earthquake shaking.
-
Tsunami
A tsunami is a series of waves generated when a large volume of water in the sea is rapidly displaced.
