The UGA Coastal Ocean Analysis and Simulation Team (COAST) develops computational hydrodynamic models to simulate astronomic tides, wind-waves, storm surge, and rainfall-runoff in coastal and oceanic environments. The computational models are applied to strengthen human and ecological resilience in coastal areas.
