Applications of a Large Scale Coastal Observation Network in Coastal Flood and Erosion Management — Southern England
Publication: Solutions to Coastal Disasters 2008
Abstract
An operational coastal observation system has been developed to aid the in service management of flood defence and coastal protection systems in southern England. Improvements to incident management have been made possible with the introduction of real time measurement and forecasting systems. Changes to management procedures have been adopted following analysis of long term records of system performance. Management tools to enable the prediction of defence standards of dynamic systems relating to overtopping, breaching and undermining are under development and validation.
