Study Area
  Assess the susceptibility of Pasuquin,
Ilocos Norte to coastal flooding.
 Determine morphometric characteristics of
Objectives displaced boulders

 Interpret transport of boulders

 Evaluate hydrodynamics of involved waves

  Select site in coast of Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte

 Boulders to measure are selected at random

Scope and  Coastal hazards considered: storm surge, tsunami

Limitations  Hydrodynamic equations (Nandasena et al., 2011)

 Storm surge and tsunami = high-energy wave

“This study is part of an ongoing project, "Investigation and
Numerical Modeling of Philippine tsunamis based on historical,
geomorphological, and geological evidence of past earthquakes",
implemented by the National Institute of Geological Sciences (NIGS)
and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHIVOLCS), funded by the Department of Science and Technology
(DOST), and monitored by the Philippine Council for Industry,
