Abstract
Global warming and its accompanying sea level rise will be serious issues in the future. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a global average sea level rise of 9cm to 88cm is projected for 1990 to 2100 and a steady increase of sea level for all of the scenarios considered is expected. In the coast regions, coast disasters caused by storm surge coupled with sea level rise are likely increased. To examine adaptation strategies against the increased coastal hazards, it is important to understand the characteristics of storm surge events. The aims of this study are to determine the most dangerous typhoon conditions in the Suo sea, to compute the maximum storm surge height, and to estimate the possible inundated area and population by using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
