*Physical Modeling of Wave Attenuation and Wave Force Reduction by a
Mangrove Forest*



*December 4, 202010am - 11:30am PT*



Rising seas, tropical cyclones, and tsunamis threaten increasingly
populated coastal areas, leaving coastal communities searching for
sustainable, resilient adaptation solutions to mitigate the impacts of
chronic and acute coastal flood hazards. While various hazard mitigation
alternatives spanning the grey-green engineering spectrum have been
considered, an emerging body of literature has identified natural and
nature-based features (NNBF) as effective in attenuating waves and water
levels over land and providing co-benefits including carbon storage,
habitat, and recreation.



Presenter: *Tori Tomiczek*, assistant professor at the U.S. Naval Academy.
