Impact of Storm Surge on the Yellow River Delta: Simulation and Analysis

Storm surges can lead to serious natural hazards and pose great threats coastal areas, especially developed deltas. Assessing the risk of storm on infrastructures is crucial for regional economic development disaster mitigation. Combining in situ observations, remote sensing retrievals, numerical simulation, surge floods Yellow River Delta (YRD) were calculated different scenarios. The results showed that NE wind cause largest flooding area 630 km2, although overall delta at lower levels under various conditions. oilfields are principally an increasing level. E winds would result 0.9–1.4 m, oilfields. Nearshore seabed erosion events resulted a decrease inundation depths areas. To prevent control disasters, we should adapt local Different measures be taken seashores, such as planting saltmarsh vegetation protect seawalls, while key point construct maintain seawalls high-risk shorelines.
