The Kenosha dunes are part of the Chiwaukee Prairie State Natural Area in Wisconsin and are located to the south of the Southport park in the Lake Michigan.

Because of the extreme weather conditions, specifically, extreme waves conditions, this dunes are exposed to the high energy from these kind of waves, implying a high potential erosion.

Along the years these has become a hazard in this area, and to know the wave and weather conditions are important to can evaluate and prevent the impact of the waves induced by storms in this area.

The aim of this project is to simulate the extreme waves conditions in front of the Kenosha Dunes and from this, evaluate the potential wave runup over different profiles along the beach.
