A geomorphological and hydrodynamic approach for beach safety and sea bathing risk estimation
Science of the Total Environment, 2019 Coastal areas represent one of the most important economic driving forces for entire countries. In the last decades, along coastal areas it has been observed a marked increase in risk of bathing due to the advent of mass tourism, particularly during the ...

Interpretable Deep Learning Applied to Rip Current Detection and Localization
Remote Sensing, 2022 A rip current is a strong, localized current of water which moves along and away from the shore. Recent studies have suggested that drownings due to rip currents are still a major threat to beach safety.

Managing retreat for sandy beach areas under sea level rise
Scientific Reports, 2023 Sea level rise (SLR) is projected to impact approximately one billion people by 2100. For many coastal communities, retreat is the most viable long-term option due to exposure risk under SLR and increased coastal hazards.
