项目摘要

Coastal Flooding by Extreme Events (CoFEE) Over the next 100 years sea level will rise and there may be more severe storms. This will increase the coastal flooding risk to property, businesses, industry, roads and rail networks at great cost to us all. We must now face the consequences of climate change and either invest in sustainable defences or develop new ways to live with more flooding. The first option will cost a great deal of money and the second option may mean we need to change radically the way we currently occupy and use the coastal environment. The Coastal Flooding by Extreme Events (CoFEE) project will use our present knowledge of the eastern Irish Sea coastline in computer models to investigate the speed and extent of coastal flooding during storms and to determine how sensitive our coasts are to extreme events. CoFEE will attempt to answer 4 questions: (a) how big will coastal floods be in the future; (b) which types of coast can we leave to flood and which must we defend; (c) what might the coast look like in the future; (d) what are the risks of allowing coastal flooding to occur? CoFEE will look at different natural coastlines that include, estuaries, beaches and sand dunes and coastlines that are defended by a range of man-made structures. The results will be applicable to coastal areas elsewhere in Britain and more widely. By bringing together scientists, engineers and the people who plan flood defences, CoFEE will provide the basis for predicting the threat of coastal floods in a changing climate so that resources can be better targeted to deliver more effective, better informed and sustainable strategies for managing the flood risk to our coastlines in the future.

极端事件引起的沿海洪水（CoFEE）在接下来的100年里，海平面将上升，可能会有更严重的风暴。这将增加沿海洪水对财产、商业、工业、道路和铁路网络的风险，给我们所有人带来巨大损失。我们现在必须面对气候变化的后果，要么投资于可持续的防御措施，要么开发新的方式来应对更多的洪水。第一种选择将花费大量资金，第二种选择可能意味着我们需要从根本上改变我们目前占用和利用沿海环境的方式。极端事件导致的海岸洪水（CoFEE）项目将利用我们目前对爱尔兰东部海岸线的了解，在计算机模型中调查风暴期间沿海洪水的速度和程度，并确定我们的海岸对极端事件的敏感程度。CoFEE将尝试回答4个问题：(a)未来沿海洪水会有多大；(b)哪些类型的海岸可以留给洪水，哪些我们必须保卫；(c)未来海岸会是什么样子；（四）任由沿岸水浸发生的风险为何？CoFEE将考察不同的自然海岸线，包括河口、海滩和沙丘，以及由一系列人造建筑保护的海岸线。研究结果将适用于英国其他沿海地区以及更广泛的地区。通过将科学家、工程师和防洪规划人员聚集在一起，CoFEE将为预测气候变化下沿海洪水的威胁提供基础，以便更好地利用资源，提供更有效、更明智和可持续的战略，以管理未来海岸线的洪水风险。
