Seeks to understand hazards associated with coastal community risks and to examine the safety of critical oil and gas infrastructural systems exposed to such hazards. Three main tasks to accomplish the research objectives are to assess coastal- flooding hazards, to evaluate the fragility of oil and gas systems, and to assess hydrocarbon release-induced hazards.
