Vegetal Infrastructure: Rwanda's Eucalyptus Boom and the Material Politics of Tree Planting as a ‘Nature‐Based Solution’

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This article analyses the political ecology of Rwanda's eucalyptus boom, situating it as a site of tension within a global push towards ‘nature‐based solutions’. It develops the concept of vegetal infrastructure, demonstrating how certain tree species become legible to global environmental governance while making local social ...

Partial Entrance Restriction as a Potential Tidal Flood Mitigation Strategy in a Large Urban Estuary

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tidal flooding in estuaries is expected to worsen as sea‐level rise (SLR) continues to accelerate and increases storm surge height. Conventional structural defences are often unsustainable, while nature‐based solutions like managed realignment require extensive land to be repurposed.

Biogeomorphic Feedbacks Triggered by Mangrove Degradation at the Seaward Margin Accelerate Persistent Vegetation Decline

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Seaward mangrove edge exhibited significant retreat after extreme disturbances. Rhizophora stylosa exhibited impaired regeneration and root damage in heavily disturbed areas, trait variation primarily responded to elevation and sediment properties, vegetation loss triggered subsidence, creating a positive biogeomorphic feedback loop.

Narrative Horizons: Deliberate Derangement in Oceanic Climate Fiction

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Although we live in the Anthropocene—the geological age of humankind, wherein humans have measurably impacted the biosphere—we struggle to narrate the Anthropocene. In particular, we struggle to give narrative shape to its foremost feature: anthropogenic climate change.

Floating Breakwater Performance

Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976
The Pacific Northwestern United States contains large areas of protected waters with abundant recreational boating opportunities. The area also supports many commercial fishermen who use small boats in their fishing operations . As a result, there is a large demand for sheltered moorage for all these vessels.

Quantifying the Sea Level and Estuary Contributions to Changing High Water Levels in Four Major Australian Estuaries

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Coastal inundation occurs when the total height of mean sea level (MSL), tide, and surge, including subsequent propagation into estuaries, exceeds a given threshold. We developed a nonparametric Joint Probability of Maxima Method and applied to four major Australian estuaries, deriving frequency‐based exceedance thresholds and quantifying the ...

Numerical Modeling Investigation of Irregular Wave Interaction with Perforated Caisson Breakwater

نشریه مهندسی دریا, 2018
Caisson breakwater is one the most common coastal protection structures which their main application is to reduce wave energies and create a calm basin for berthing of the ships in ports. A simple approach to achieve this is to build a solid wall against

Comparison of the Impact of Akmon, Sta-bar, Sta-pod, Stock cube, and Tribar Armoring Layers on the Level of Flow Rate and Wave Overtopping [PDF]

Journal of Hydraulic and Water Engineering
Breakwaters are structures whose main function is to reduce waves in an area and create a calm basin for the stopping, movement, and maneuvering of floating objects.

Zeebrugge's Main Breakwaters

Coastal Engineering 1982, 1982
The design scheme of the Zeebrugge Outer Harbour, Belgium, consists mainly of two breakwaters protruding into the sea as far as 1,750 m beyond the existing mole or 3.000 m out from the coastline. The west outer breakwater is 4,450 m long, the east breakwater runs 4,300 m out from the seafront.
