Burdekin Region Storm Tide and Erosion Study, QLD

Home / Projects / Coastal hazards / Burdekin Region Storm Tide and Erosion Study, QLD

A large-scale coastal modelling project spanning the Burdekin Region of northern Queensland. It included a Delft3D tide, surge and cyclone model, which spanned 350km, with an varying grid resolution spanning offshore 2.4km to nearshore 200m. This was coupled with a cyclone model based on the Holland scheme, with the Geoscience Australian TCRM used to generate 10,000 years of synthetic tracks for simulation. Nearshore results were used within a XBeach coastal erosion model to understand the potential shoreline impacts at coastal villages.
