"A Storm Hazard Matrix combining coastal flooding and beach erosion"
Consider these two locations. Did they face the same type of coastal storm hazard? A thread 1/7
Coastal #storms and #hurricanes can bring flooding (elevated water levels) and beach #erosion, but how much of each depends the coastal setting and the storm conditions. If we can understand and predict what hazards may threaten a coast, we can better prepare for them. 2/7
