Fostering Climate Change Education for Effective Locally‐Led and Community‐Led Adaptation
This study highlights the transformative role of climate change education (CCE), understood here as formal, non‐formal and informal learning that equips people with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to act as agents of change for climate mitigation and adaptation in enhancing locally‐led adaptation (LLA)—where local actors shape ...

Minor epic: Notes toward a different “Anthropoetry”
Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival

Narrative Horizons: Deliberate Derangement in Oceanic Climate Fiction
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.

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.

The study focusses on the morphological evolution of worldwide restored intertidal flats. These intertidal flats initially experience high sedimentation rates after the opening of the connection with open waters. The anthropogenic structures cause high morphological instability and are eroded, leading to a self‐cannibalisation of the system.

Mean Drift Forces on Vertical Cylindrical Bodies Placed in Front of a Breakwater
This paper presents a numerical and experimental investigation of the second-order steady horizontal and vertical drift forces acting on cylindrical bodies in regular waves. The examined bodies are either kept restrained in front of a vertical breakwater

Floating Breakwater Performance
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.

A hybrid RANS‐LES turbulence model adapted for the Moving Particle Semi‐implicit method is employed to investigate a turbulent free surface flow. A method based on the cell‐linked list is proposed to speed up the nearest wall search for the turbulence model.

Eastern United States: Potential Range for Ecologically Based Coastal Defenses in 2100
These maps show where black mangroves can potentially thrive along the US east coast by the end of the 21st century under several climate scenarios. Similar work was done for oyster reefs and saltmarshes. ABSTRACT Eco‐defenses (mangroves, oyster reefs, and saltmarshes) are ecosystems that can help to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and erosion ...

Numerical Modeling Investigation of Irregular Wave Interaction with Perforated Caisson Breakwater
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
