Effect of sea level rise on the overtopping of English coastal defences (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Hames, D., & Gouldby, B. (2021). Effect of sea level rise on the overtopping of English coastal defences. In FLOODrisk2020. https://doi.org/10.3311/FloodRisk2020.11.13

With a rise in sea levels, there is a consequent increase in the risk to coastal communities of the severity and magnitude of flood events. However these increased risks are not spatially consistent, and the type and nature of a coastal defence may...

Assessing the joint probability of sea conditions: A robust approach (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Gouldby, B., Panzeri, M., Hames, D., Wyncoll, D., Tozer, N., Hawkes, P., …Burgess, K. (2018). Assessing the joint probability of sea conditions: A robust approach. In Coasts, Marine Structures and Breakwaters 2017: Realising the Potential. https://doi.org/10.1680/cmsb.63174.0653

The design of breakwaters and other coastal structures around the UK requires the assessment of the joint probability of extreme waves and sea levels. There is a standard simplified approach applied within the UK that uses joint exceedance contours o... Read More about Assessing the joint probability of sea conditions: A robust approach.

Spatial analysis and simulation of extreme coastal flooding scenarios for national-scale emergency planning (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Wyncoll, D., Haigh, I., Gouldby, B., Hames, D., Laeger, S., Wall, A., …Hammond, A. (2016). Spatial analysis and simulation of extreme coastal flooding scenarios for national-scale emergency planning. In 3rd European Conference on Flood Risk Management. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20160701001

The UK has a long history of coastal flooding, driven by large-scale low-pressure weather systems which can result in flooding over large spatial areas. Traditional coastal flood risk analysis is, however, often undertaken at local scales and hence d...

Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Roca, M., Hames, D., Gouldby, B., Zve, E., Rowlands, O., Barter, P., & Grew, J. (2016). Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change. In 3rd European Conference on Flood Risk Management. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20160702004

The section of railway which runs along the coastline of south Devon in United Kingdom, from Exeter to Newton Abbot, is one of the most photographed sections of railway in the world. It was opened in 1846 with embankments and seawalls protecting and... Read More about Methodology to assess coastal infrastructure resilience to climate change.

National scale multivariate extreme value modelling of waves, winds and sea levels (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Gouldby, B., Wyncoll, D., Panzeri, M., Franklin, M., Hunt, T., Tozer, N., …Hawkes, P. (2016). National scale multivariate extreme value modelling of waves, winds and sea levels. In 3rd European Conference on Flood Risk Management. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20160701007

It has long been recognised that extreme coastal flooding can arise from the joint occurrence of extreme waves, winds and sea levels. The standard simplified joint probability approach used in England and Wales can result in an underestimation of flo...

Application of a conditional approach for multivariate extreme values to flood risk (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Wyncoll, D., Gouldby, B., & Hames, D. (2014). Application of a conditional approach for multivariate extreme values to flood risk. In Proceedings of the 1st International Short Conference on Advances in Extreme Value Analysis and Application to Natural Hazards (EVAN 2013) (87-96)

Flood risk is a function of probability and consequence. Flooding events can arise from different sources, pluvial, fluvial, groundwater and coastal flooding. Sometimes flooding at a specific location arises from a single source in isolation. Often h... Read More about Application of a conditional approach for multivariate extreme values to flood risk.

The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Hames, D., Panzeri, M., Ramsbottom, D., Townend, I., & Wade, S. (2012). The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast.

In 2008 the Climate Change Act was passed into law in the UK. This provides a legally binding framework for reducing carbon emissions. Much of the focus of the Act is on reducing emissions and hence on mitigation measures, however, the Act also req...
