Description:

Coastal communities are vulnerable to both acute hazards, such as extreme precipitation and
hurricanes, and chronic hazards such as sea level rise. These compound natural hazards could bring cascading consequences to the built urban environment. The complicated social, economic, and environmental impacts of natural hazards require timely and effective scientific information to support adaptation policies and decision-making. Data-driven approaches that integrate multiple data sources and analytical methods could capture the interdependent relationship between social, physical, and economic variables. Recent development of urban simulation models, such as hydrological or agent-based model, provide opportunities to better measure interdependent impacts of climate change on the urban systems, and thus could facilitate adaptation planning and decision-making.
