Abstract: In coastal floodplains, high river flows and high coastal water levels can result in extensive flooding. Twenty-first century climate change is expected to alter these flood mechanisms. In this study, a coastal city of Cork, Ireland is used as a case study to investigate changes in flood mechanisms, dynamics and extents due to climate change. A hydrodynamic flood model MSN_Flood was used to compute potential future inundation patterns for a range of climate scenarios based on estimates of current, medium-range and high-end projections of extrem...
