Abstract
A coastal engineering study was performed to compute extreme Total Water Levels (TWL's) for three different global warming scenarios to assist in the selection of realistic scenarios for analysis, and in the development of corresponding realistic coastal protection solutions for the Twin Lakes Beachfront Improvements Project in Santa Cruz, CA. The study involved, among others, the development of a 39-year long wave hindcast in shallow water, the development of TWL hindcasts, and calculation and mapping of 100-year TWL's along the coast where the improvement project is being planned by the County of Santa Cruz. The 100-year TWL contours for a 50-year project lifetime were used in the conceptual design of the architectural plans and coastal protection structures.
