Shoreline Response to Clustered Storms in Southeast Australia Case Studies

A framework for modelling shoreline response to clustered storm events, focusing on two case study areas in southeast Australia: the Adelaide metropolitan coast and Old Bar beach. The dataset integrates coastal geomorphology and engineering approaches, using sediment compartment mapping and sub-surface data like boreholes and ground-penetrating radar profiles. This work is a contribution to the Bushfire and Natural Hazard Cooperative Research Centre project on storm surge resilience.

Use Cases

• Modeling shoreline erosion risk based on sediment volume estimates in the upper beach to foredune.
• Assessing coastal vulnerability to clustered storm events using an event time series of observed and hindcast data.
• Informing site-specific coastal management strategies based on the coastal sediment compartment as a functional unit.

Strengths

• Focuses on two specific, high-priority case study areas where erosion is a management concern.
• Integrates multiple data sources, including sub-surface information from boreholes and ground-penetrating radar.
• Framework is designed to directly inform management agencies at a relevant spatial scale.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the two specific Australian case studies.
