On today’s episode of DesignSafe Radio, we speak with Clint Dawson, a professor at the University of Texas at Austin that has 25 years of experience with coastal engineering and storm surge research. 

In this short episode, Dawson explains the process of storm surge, the simulations performed using TACC computers, how the research data is published using the NHERI DesignSafe workbench, and the utilization of the software ADCIRC in storm surge research.
