Abstract

This module will provide you with the basic knowledge to recommend if construction of a community center should proceed considering historical data from previous hurricane impacts near the proposed site. In the first section you will learn how hurricanes form, why they cause flooding and what other impacts they have in coastal communities. In the second section you will learn how to create and analyze report quality time series of hydrologic variables and how to process these time series data to identify different hydrologic processes driving flooding using a python notebook. In the third section, you will be synthesizing all the time series analysis you conducted to support your final recommendation about building the community center.

In this module you will learn about the relationships between hurricanes, groundwater and floods as you assess if it is viable to build a community center in the North Carolina Outer Banks. You will then review the drivers and impacts of hurricanes on the hydrologic system. Specifically, you will create and analyze time series in python to identify the drivers of groundwater level changes. Finally, you will predict potential flooding zones given a coastal topographic map and groundwater level data to evaluate the suitability of constructing a new coastal community center.
