    “How do coastal nature-based solutioNBS
    ns reduce flooding in one area and not induce flooding elsewhere? Conversely, what characteristics and processes can lead gray infrastructure to cause flooding outside of their protected area?”

    “HIGHLIGHTS:
    • Coastal flood mitigation is studied with hydrodynamic and idealized semi-analytical modeling.
    • Mechanisms of flood wave dissipation, storage and reflection are quantified and evaluated.
    • A storm surge barrier for Jamaica Bay, New York, stops but reflects a 100-year flood wave.
    • Nature-based strategies can attenuate a storm surge with minimal induced flooding.
    • Partial reflection shifts the reflected storm surge wave phase, limiting water level increases..."
