That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Wave Power Absorption by Arrays of Wave Energy Converters in Front of a Vertical Breakwater: A Theoretical Study

Energies, 2020
The present paper deals with the theoretical evaluation of the efficiency of an array of cylindrical Wave Energy Converters (WECs) having a vertical symmetry axis and placed in front of a reflecting vertical breakwater. Linear potential theory is assumed,

Sea‐Level Rise Adaptation and Collaboration in Polycentric Governance: A Comparison of Three Regions

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adaptation to sea‐level rise confronts coastal communities worldwide with a new set of collective action problems that require collaboration. When does collaboration result in concrete action for adaptation? To address this question, we combine the Ecology of Games and Collaborative Governance frameworks using a comparative analysis of three ...

Analysis of Permeable Breakwaters

Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986
This paper discusses the characteristics of hydraulic and water exchange due to the wave action against vertical slit-type breakwaters. The theoretical solution of the reflection and the transmission coefficients for the breakwater models is compared with the experimental results.

Wave Trapping by Breakwaters

Coastal Engineering 1986, 1986
The refraction of water waves around the heads of breakwaters can lead to large wave heights along the sheltered side of the structure. These waves are shown to be edge waves, trapped on the breakwater, based on the comparison of laboratory data and linear edge wave theory.

Wave - Structure Interactions: A Literature Review

Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2022
The purpose of the work is revolved around presenting a literature review applied to wave-structure interactions. During this literature review, three types of breakwaters are presented: Bottom submerged breakwater, submerged plate, and seawalls ...

Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.

Winter Storm Induced Turbulent Structure Alteration Triggers Sediment Export From an Abandoned Subaqueous Delta

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Winter storms present a major erosional hazard to subaqueous deltas globally, but the associated dynamic mechanisms are still not well understood. Using high‐resolution in situ data collected over a 3‐week period in the abandoned Yellow River subaqueous delta, this study employs three‐dimensional quadrant analysis to examine turbulent ...

Experimental and Numerical Study on the Hydrodynamic Efficiency of Permeable Caissons Barriers

Journal of Eta Maritime Science
Breakwaters are constructed to protect beaches and ports from high storms and waves. By bringing calm to the port, breakwaters also increase ship safety and operation. This paper presents a study of the breakwater partially submerged in water, consisting

Weak Structure and Environment‐Associated Loci Across a Eutrophication Gradient in a Resilient Coral Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Marine species often have large effective population sizes and high connectivity that reduce drift and preserve diversity, but how these features shape adaptation to anthropogenic change remains unclear; Oulastrea crispata, a stress‐tolerant Indo‐Pacific coral, is an ideal test case along a strong eutrophication gradient. Using RADseq on 90 individuals
