Presenter: Shahinur Rahman, Division of Coastal Sciences Graduate Research Assistant (Gulf Coast Research Laboratory) Coastal cities are increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts such as sea level rise, extreme rainfall, and storm surges that result in coastal urban flooding. Moss Point, Mississippi, is among the most flood-prone cities on the Gulf Coast, where its low elevation, proximity to the Pascagoula and Escatawpa Rivers, and limited drainage capacity intensify flood hazards. This study investigates how Nature-based Solutions (NbS), hydrologic-hydraulic modeling, and stakeholder knowledge and input can help improve flood risk management for the city of Moss Point.
This study will provide valuable insights on how NbS can reduce flood risk, how data-driven modeling can simulate potential reductions in urban flooding scenarios, and how stakeholder engagement can strengthen flood resilience planning.
