Executive Brief
Coastal Flooding
Clarity before a decision is made
Coastal flooding has become an increasingly significant challenge as rising sea levels associated with global climate change continue to affect coastal regions worldwide.
CORZ applies advanced ocean modeling technology to assess, predict, and mitigate coastal flooding caused by sea level rise and extreme ocean conditions. Our science-based modeling solutions provide reliable information to support decision makers in developing resilient coastal infrastructure, protecting communities, and reducing environmental and economic risks.
Decision Supported
Define the approach, priorities, and actions for coastal flooding using traceable evidence.
Risk Controlled
Environmental impact, design failure, operational disruption, uncontrolled cost, and weak assumptions.
Success Criteria
Comparable options, quantified risk, and implementable recommendations.
Solution Paths
Choose the area that matches your need
2.01.1
Wave, Tide, and Tsunami Flooding
Wave, tide, and tsunami flooding can occur due to rising sea levels during extreme high tides, the propagation of long waves from distant sources, and tsunami events.

2.01.2
Storm Surge Flooding
Global climate change has influenced the frequency and intensity of coastal storm events in Indonesian waters.

Full technical basis and contextOpen this section to read the complete source technical narrative.
Coastal flooding has become an increasingly significant challenge as rising sea levels associated with global climate change continue to affect coastal regions worldwide. These events pose serious risks to coastal communities, infrastructure, and economic activities. As a result, the ability to accurately predict when coastal flooding will occur and identify the areas most likely to be affected has become essential for effective planning, disaster preparedness, and risk reduction.
CORZ applies advanced ocean modeling technology to assess, predict, and mitigate coastal flooding caused by sea level rise and extreme ocean conditions. Our science-based modeling solutions provide reliable information to support decision makers in developing resilient coastal infrastructure, protecting communities, and reducing environmental and economic risks.
Simulation of coastal inundation caused by the combined effects of ocean waves, astronomical tides, and tsunami events.
Flood hazard mapping, vulnerability assessment, and early warning support.
