Shoreline Response to Clustered Storm Events in Southeast Australia

A framework for modelling shoreline response to clustered storm events, focusing on two case study areas in southeast Australia. The data integrates coastal geomorphology and engineering approaches for Adelaide metropolitan coast and Old Bar beach. It is a contribution to the Bushfire and Natural Hazard Cooperative Research Centre project on storm surge resilience.

Use Cases

• Modelling site-specific shoreline erosion based on coastal sediment compartment data
• Assessing coastal vulnerability to clustered storm events based on event time series
• Informing management priorities for at-risk infrastructure based on sub-surface sediment volume estimates

Strengths

• Focuses on two specific case study areas where erosion is a management priority
• Integrates multiple data sources including sub-surface information from boreholes and ground penetrating radar
• Framework is linked to an event time series of observed and hind cast storms

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
