Abstract
What are the worst case effects of hurricanes, riverine flooding, high tides, and sea level rise inundation on DelDOT’s assets? The University of Delaware Water Resources Center (UDWRC) and Center for Applied Demography and Survey Research (CADSR) utilized climatic, hydrologic, hydraulic, and geographic information systems (GIS) data to document and map the worst case effects of hurricane, fluvial flooding, high tide, and sea level rise inundation on the highway, railroad, transit, and pedestrian/bicycle transit assets of the Delaware Department of Transportation.
