The hazard-formative environment evolution of storm surge hazard in Yang Shan Port, China

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Oceanic disasters, especially the storm surge hazard, occur with increasing frequency and intensity in coastal areas. Yang Shan Deep-water Port, the most important gateway of China to the world, is exposed to a high disaster risk. The analysis of its hazard-formative environment is the basic work to find appropriate measures to reduce the risk. In this work, the evolution of the hazard-formative environment of storm surge hazard in Yang Shan Deep-water Port is studied systematically by Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial analysis techniques. The results indicate that the hazard-formative environment in Yang Shan Port has changed a lot due to human disturbance in recent years, and the evolution of this environment will lead to a higher potential risk of disaster with global climate change.
