Phase II Potential Inundation Maps - Various Scenarios

These maps represent the results of modeling of potential inundation due to sea level rise (SLR) and storm surge. Different SLR scenarios were used independently and in combination with the storm surge associated with a 100 year event.

Coupling of Sea Level Rise, Tidal Amplification, and Inundation
With the global sea level rising, it is imperative to quantify how the dynamics of tidal estuaries and embayments will respond to increased depth and newly inundated perimeter regions. With increased depth comes a decrease in frictional effects in the basin interior and altered tidal amplification. Inundation due to higher sea level also causes an increase in planform area, tidal prism, and frictional effects in the newly inundated areas.

Novato Creek Baylands Vision: Integrating ecological functions and flood protection within a climate-resilient landscape
This report explores the potential for integrating ecological functions into flood risk management on lower Novato Creek. It presents an initial vision of how ecological elements could contribute to flood protection, based on a broad scale analysis and a one day workshop of local and regional experts. The Vision is not intended to be implemented as is, but rather adapted and applied through future projects and analysis. Other actions (e.g., floodwater detention basins) may also need to be implemented in the interim to meet flood risk objectives.
