Beyond The 100-Year Flood - Probabilistic Flood Hazard Assessment For King And Pierce Counties Under Future Climate Scenarios

https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-26-3231-2026 <-- shared #openacess paper

[part of my old stomping ground as an engineering geologist]
H/T @Kees Nederhoff
“Flood maps are usually built from a single design storm. For King and Pierce Counties in the Pacific Northwest (USA), [the authors] tried the opposite - simulate 82 years of actual coastal and river conditions (plus 18 synthetic years) with SFINCS and let the statistics fall out cell by cell. That took about 5,400 yearly simulations and 194,000 CPU hours on USGS's Hovenweep HPC. Worth it!
The design-event shortcut turns out to hide a real hazard. A deterministic 10-year event underestimated flood depths by up to half a meter compared to the continuous runs.
The bigger surprise [to the authors] was how one-sided the climate signal is. One metre of sea level rise takes King County's expected annual flooded area from 161 --> 787 hectares, almost a factor of five. Changes in storminess over the same horizon barely register. And somewhere between 100 and 150 cm of SLR, land that never floods today starts flooding fast. If you plan adaptation in Puget Sound, that threshold matters more than any single return-period map.
[They] also propose Expected Annual Flooded Area (EAFA) as a probability-weighted alternative to the binary "inside or outside the 100-year zone" label…”

Trump has turned ICE into his own political intimidation group of thugs to do his dirty work and stifle dissent so he can continue to profit from his corruption.
If practical work with local authorities and law enforcement to monitor and document abuses by ICE so appropriate criminal and civil action can be taken.

The Big River is a minor #tributary of the #MississippiRiver in western #Wisconsin in the #UnitedStates. It flows for its entire 12.8-mile (20.6 km) length in western #PierceCounty, rising in the town of #RiverFalls and flowing south-southwestwardly into the town of #OakGrove. It enters the Mississippi River about 6 miles (10 km) southeast of #Prescott.
