HARVEY-RELATED ACTIVITIES

Hurricane Harvey made landfall on August 25, 2017 near Corpus Christi, Texas. Over the next five days the storm devastated the Texas coast, dropping over 36 inches of rain over 2500 sq mi area and causing unprecedented levels of damage. Harvey is likely the costliest storm in U.S. history, exceeding Hurricane Katrina. Life-threatening flooding in the City of Houston and surrounding areas caught the world’s attention.

My research interests are coastal flooding and resilience under severe tropical cyclone conditions. I am particularly interested in coupling inland and oceanic models to assess potential compound flooding impacts on residential communities.
