Coastal Flood Prediction
Coastal flood prediction aims to accurately forecast the extent and severity of coastal inundation, crucial for mitigating the increasing risks posed by climate change and sea-level rise. Current research heavily emphasizes data-driven approaches, employing deep learning architectures like convolutional neural networks and transformers, often coupled with techniques like adversarial domain adaptation to address data scarcity in specific locations. These models are being compared against traditional physics-based methods and machine learning techniques, with a focus on improving prediction accuracy and efficiency, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Improved prediction capabilities are vital for informing effective coastal management strategies and disaster preparedness.
