1 Coastal Erosion Risks - Beaches Risk Management in Civil Engineering, Advanced Course Lisbon, November 21 st, 2008 Objectives To briefly introduce coastal processes governing sediment transport and beach change To discuss coastal erosion, including its main causes and effects, associated with storms, man-made structures and activities, and sea-level rise To review approaches to model the different types of coastal erosion with a risk-based perspective To examine different methods for employing risk-based estimates of coastal erosion in integrated coastal zone planning and management
2 Overview Introduction to coastal processes Coastal sediment transport and erosion at different scales Modeling coastal erosion induced by: Storms (dune erosion and overwash) Man-made structures and activities (shoreline change) Sea level rise (beach profile retreat) Erosion estimates in coastal zone management and planning Concluding remarks Wave Generation and Propagation Superposition of sinusoidal waves Ocean surface C a = Wave Amplitude Ocean wave spectrum Wave properties: H, L, T, dir
3 Wave Statistics Statistical wave measures: Mean wave height ( H ) Significant wave height (H s ): average of the 1/3 highest waves H 10 : average of the 1/10 highest waves H 1 : average of the 1/100 highest waves Statistical wave measures used in different calculation procedures to assess impact.

11 Case I: Impact of Storms High waves and water levels may cause: Erosion Overwash Breaching Morphological features such as coastal dunes and barrier islands are particularly exposed. Methods to Predict Dune Response Equilibrium profile theory (Bruun 1962, Kriebel and Dean 1993) Wave impact theory (Fisher and Overton 1984, Nishi and Kraus 1996)
12 Dune Erosion due to Wave Impact Dune Describe average retreat of dune Ds uo, ho us zo Foreshore bf Dune erosion mechanisms: sliding and flowing impact and layer separation notching and slumping rotaional slumping Governing Equations Transport relationship: Δ W = C F E (eroded weight related to wave impact force) Δ W =ΔVρ (1 p) g s (weight of eroded material) F 1 1 u = ρ u h = ρ 2 2 gc 2 o o o 4 o 2 u (impact force, single wave) 1 u F = ρ 2 gc 4 o 2 u Δt T (impact force, many waves)
13 Average transport rate: q D dv = = dt 2 C g T (1 p) 4 1 CE ρ uo u ρs u = u 2gz (front speed of wave) 2 2 o s o 2 u s R = 2g C s 1 C ρ 1 = E 2 2 Cu ρs (1 p) (transport coefficient) dv dt = 4C s ( R z ) 2 T o Coastal Overwash Definition: Overwash is the flow of water and sediment over the crest of the beach that does not directly return to the water body (ocean, sea, bay, or lake) where it originated. Overwash may occur at dunes, barrier islands, and spits.
14 Analytical Model of Overwash Schematize dune or barrier island with a triangular cross section => three parameters to describe the evolution: x o, x B, and s DV B q B DV o Bay b B s bo q o Ocean x s Dx B Dx o x Evolution of the cross section occurs with constant seaward and bayward slopes Sediment Conservation Equations Sediment eroded from wave impact is transported either offshore or over the beach crest (overwash): dv dt o = q + q o B Sediment deposited on the backside due to overwash: dv dt B = q B From geometry: Δ V =Δx s B o o B Δ V =Δx s Δ VD =ΔVB ΔVo 1 VD xb xo s 2 Dune volume: = ( )
15 Analytical Solution Solution (q o and q B assumed constant): 2VDo qot s = 1 l V (dune/barrier height) Do Do q B qt o xo = xoo + ldo q o V Do (seaward beach foot) q B qt o xb = xbo + ldo 1 1 q o VDo (shoreward beach foot) Method for Assessing Probability of Storm Impact Storm impact may be characterized in terms of key morphological parameters such as: eroded volume overwash volume duration of overwash recession distance Classical approach to estimate probability of an impact: Storm with a certain return period yields impact with same return period. But, not one-to-one correspondence. Better approach: simulate long time series of morphological impact and perform statistical analysis (fit theoretical distribution)
16 Model Simulation Objectives: Estimate the statistical properties of subaerial response to storms in terms of dune erosion and overwash. Needed model input System characteristics: dune properties parameter values Forcing data: wave height and period water level (surge + tide) Long-term Data Set Ocean City (MD), United States: Hourly values of waves, water level, and wind (January 1930 December 1999) Beach morphologies high dune (north of Ocean City inlet) low-crested barrier island (northern Assateague Island south of Ocean City inlet)

21 Probabilistic Shoreline Evolution Employ a Monte-Carlo simulation approach: 1. Develop input wave time series from measured/hincasted data 2. Simulate shoreline evolution for selected time series 3. Repeat step 1 and 2 a sufficiently large number of times 4. Compute statistical properties of the shoreline response from the N realizations 5. If possible, fit theoretical distributions to probabilistic shoreline response 6. Utilize statistical properties within a coastal management system Case III: Impact of Sea Level Rise Overwash Flooding Erosion

28 Digital Elevation Model - Scenarios Flooding of housing areas in Skanör/Falsterbo at ,5 m: 18%...+2,0 m: 42% Ljunghusen: 4% Concluding Remarks Probabilistic and risk-based approaches are becoming more frequent in coastal erosion studies, but still not common Complex simulation models do not easily permit probabilistic approaches (tendencies are towards the use of such models) Available data series on erosion are typically short and unevenly spaced making it difficult to derive statistical properties through direct analysis Measured/hindcasted wave and water level data typically avaliable that combined with a sediment transport and beach evolution model allows for probabilistic approaches
