Do you live or work in the Break O’Day Council area? Come along to a community discussion and hear how Tasmanian research is serving local needs in understanding present and future coastal risk.

🌊Find out about tidal patterns in Georges Bay, what role Antarctica will play in sea level changes, and how the Natural Hazards Atlas for Tasmania is helping communities to be informed and prepared for future risk.

🔹When: Thursday, 18 June from 7pm to 8.30pm
🔹Where: Panorama Hotel, St Helens
🔹All welcome! No RSVP required.

“In partnership with the Tasmanian SES, three tide gauges were operated for 12 months to measure the water levels in Georges Bay to understand how tides and surges from the ocean interact with river flows from catchment runoff,” said IMAS Research Fellow, Dr Karen Palmer, who led the research.

“The installation timing in March 2021 couldn’t have been more apt, coinciding with a severe low-pressure system that brought flash flooding, strong winds, and an ocean surge, during the higher tides of the spring-neap tidal cycle.

“The measurements provide valuable insights into the likelihood of coastal hazards affecting the low-lying areas surrounding Georges Bay, including inundation, erosion and delayed stormwater drainage.

“As sea levels rise these hazards inevitably occur more frequently, affecting residents, businesses, environmental values, and transport routes around St Helens.”
