	note = {{\textquotedblleft}Total water levels (TWLs) at the coast are driven by a combination of deterministic (e.g., tides) and stochastic (e.g., waves, storm surge, and sea level anomalies) processes. The contribution of each process to TWLs varies depending on regional differences in climate and framework geology, as well as local-scale variations in beach morphology, coastal orientation, and shelf bathymetry. Large-scale changes to the climate altering the frequency, direction, and intensity of storms, may therefore propagate to the nearshore differently, amplifying or suppressing local coastal hazards and changing the exposure of coastal communities to extreme TWLs. This study investigates the hydrodynamic and geomorphologic factors controlling local TWLs along high-energy United States coastlines where wave-influences dominate TWLs.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)  Three sites with differing continental shelf and beach topography (Long Beach, Washington, the Netarts Littoral Cell, and the San Francisco Littoral Cell) were studied to explore the forces that drive variations in etreme TWLs.},
