This data release contains water level and velocity measurements from wave runup experiments performed in a laboratory flume setting. Wave-driven water level variability (and runup at the shoreline) is a significant cause of coastal flooding induced by storms. Wave runup is challenging to predict, particularly along tropical coral reef-fringed coastlines due to the steep bathymetric profiles and large bottom roughness generated by reef organisms. The 2012 University of Western Australia Fringing Reef ...

This dataset contains historical shoreline positions (MHW - local Mean High Water, and MSL - local Mean Sea Level) that span 17 years, from 2004 to 2021, for Ocean Beach, San Francisco, California, USA. Shorelines were extracted from topographic elevation data collected by the USGS. Shoreline position data can be used to calculate rates of shoreline change (accretion or erosion) and to evaluate the performance of shoreline change models.
