This research is intended to be part of UKCEH's response to the Climate & Land and Flood & Drought Impacts challenges of UKCEH's Science Challenges. The impacts of coastal inundation are extremely challenging to predict in wet monsoonal ecosystems. Not only are sea surge events themselves very challenging to predict - especially in the Maritime Continent with its mixture of land and ocean - but the impacts on land are extremely variable depending on topography and land use (e.g. in coastal areas of Singapore where the terrain is very low-lying).
By the end of 2023, a new globalised coupled model approach will have been developed through the CHAMFER project which provides new and much-improved ability to simulate the behaviour of such catchments (UM_JULES). *** Hugh: I am on CHAMFER - as we have discussed - and I am hoping to have put together most of what we need by the end of 2023 *** |
