dc.description.abstractA spatial-temporal model is developed for modeling the impacts of simulated coastal zone storm surge and flooding, using a combined spatial mapping and system dynamics approach. By coupling geographic information systems (GIS) and system dynamics, the interconnecting components of the model are used with limited historical data, to evaluate storm damage. For the purpose of illustrating this model, the research is applied specifically to the case of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, a vulnerable coastal city subject to considerable impacts from pending sea level rise and more frequent severe storm surge attributed to the changing climate in the coastal zone.en
