Risk Frontiers’ Thomas Mortlock presented this week on recent work regarding calibrating a global storm surge model in collaboration with Deltares, at the 2017 Coast and Ports conference in Cairns this week.

The work combines Deltares’ capabilities in global ocean modelling with Risk Frontiers’ knowledge of coastal cyclone risk in Australia

In particular, the presentation focused on the importance of assimilating high-resolution coastal bathymetries into surge models is demonstrated in the context of the recent Severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie.
