(2022-11-17)Situated in the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV), Brazos Santiago was the deepest natural deep-water port for southernmost Texas and northernmost Mexico for over one hundred- and fifty-years. Due to its depth and position, ...
-
(2018-04-26)A prominent area of current study is how tropical cyclone (TC) behavior will respond to future changes in global climate. One way to complement this research is by analyzing TC characteristics in simulations of past climates. ...

Storm surge analysis using numerical and statistical techniques and comparison with NWS model SLOSH (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This thesis presents a technique for storm surge forecasting. Storm surge is the water that is pushed toward the shore by the force of the winds swirling around the storm. This advancing surge combines with the normal tides ...
