Coastal inundation due to multiple hazards was analysed for a potential manufacturing plant at the Batu Kawan Industrial Park in Penang state, Malaysia. The analysis accounted for river floods, rainfall and flash floods, cyclones, tides, storm surges, sea-level rise, and tsunamis. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and the effects of climate changes were also briefly evaluated. The proposed site elevation of 2.60 m LSD (land survey data level; 30 cm above mean sea level) will probably be reached by both the 100-year flood and the Coastal inundation multi-hazard analysis for a construction site in Malaysia 143100-year combined tide and storm surge. The flooding risk is low, but coincidence with storm surge or high tide will aggravate the situation. Sea level rise over the next 100 years is assumed less than 0.55 m. The relative level for the other hazards was found to be lower. A further comparison of the various hazard levels is not meaningful without considering also the consequences (i.e., the risk).Keywords: multi-hazard analysis; manufacturing site; flood; cyclone; tide; storm surge; sea-level rise; SLR; tsunami; earthquake; volcano; Penang State, Malaysia.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Harbitz, C.B., Kaiser, G., Glimsdal.

“…The development of TUNA-WQ is based upon extending the capability and robustness of the in-house tsunami simulation software TUNA [8,9]. The development intended in this research is the enhancement of the TUNA model to include tidal dynamics and pollutant transport simulations to enable the simulation of ecological and water quality scenarios in estuaries and open sea.…”

Abstract. Increasing demand for potable water coupled with diminishing water resources due to pollution and unsustainable utilization create a challenge in providing sustainable sources of potable water. It is therefore vital to protect our existing water resources from pollution while achieving economic and social development. Water quality models are useful tools for simulation of pollution levels, due to pollutants released into a certain water body. Mitigation measures for reducing the adverse environmental impact can be explored via model simulations. These model-predicted impacts and suggested mitigation measures provide a basis for environmental management agencies to make the right decisions. In this paper, we present an in-house two-dimensional water quality simulation model codenamed TUNA-WQ. As an in-house model, TUNA-WQ can be revised and adapted to broaden the applicability and improve the robustness of the model. Further, proprietary models are costly to maintain for individuals without access to institutional support. We begin the paper by introducing the development of TUNA-WQ, starting from specifying the equations and numerical method employed. This is followed by verification of the model through comparison with a tested water quality simulation model. To demonstrate the application of TUNA-WQ, we conclude the paper by presenting the TUNA-WQ simulated suspended sediment plumes in the top water column due to discharge from an offshore oil and gas exploration platform in the South China Sea.

“…Severely affected area at that time was Penang and Kedah (Colbourne 2005). The incident has driven lot of researches about it in Malaysia (Ismail et al 2012;Jahromi 2009;Jamaluddin et al 2010;Koh et al 2009a;Koh et al 2009b;Master, 2014;Teh et al 2009). In fact, at early years of the incident, the studies are much related to the tsunami impact assessment and tsunami warning (Aasen et al 2007;Ismail et al 2012;Koh et al, 2009b;Master 2014).…”
