New NOAA dataset helps improve flood mitigation tools and flood risk assessments
On April 12, 2024, high tide flooding submerged vehicles and parking meters in Annapolis, Maryland. Storm surge flooding is the flooding of normally dry coastal land with water, which occurs during high tide. As sea levels rise, storm surge flooding becomes more frequent, increasing disruption to coastal communities. Credit: NOAA The first modeled historical water level and wave datasets for…

Award-winning dataset helps in seismic liquefaction research
Computer simulations are helping scientists and engineers improve liquefaction predictions. Liquefaction is an effect of earthquakes that causes soil to lose its rigidity and cause buildings to collapse, sometimes fatally. The dataset, which provides critical input for assessing seismic liquefaction induction, was awarded the 2024 DesignSafe Dataset Award in recognition of the dataset’s diverse contributions to natural hazard research.
