Beyond Risk Reduction: Leveraging Multiple Resilience Dividend Concept for Transformative Adaptation Planning

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
This paper presents a framework for Multiple Resilience Dividends (MRD) that proposes shift climate change adaptation from a narrow risk‐focused perspective to a broader, multi‐objective systems approach. By recognizing the diverse range of benefits that adaptation measures can provide, practitioners can go beyond merely avoiding losses.

Breakwaters impact marine turtle nesting activity

Endangered Species Research
Coastal erosion is a significant environmental issue, exacerbated by human activities and rising sea levels due to climate change. One of the measures developed to counteract erosion worldwide is the use of breakwaters: structures designed to protect ...

An Assessment of Two Models of Wave Propagation in an Estuary Protected by Breakwaters

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018
Breakwaters influence coastal wave climate and circulation by blocking and dissipating wave energy. In a large harbor, these effects are combined with wave generation, refraction and reflection.

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Mapping microhabitat thermal patterns in artificial breakwaters: Alteration of intertidal biodiversity by higher rock temperature

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Urbanization is altering community structure and functioning in marine ecosystems, but knowledge about the mechanisms driving loss of species diversity is still limited.

Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2948-2965, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Investigation on bragg reflection of surface water waves induced by a train of fixed floating pontoon breakwaters

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2015
The water wave characteristics of Bragg reflections from a train of fixed floating pontoon breakwaters was studied numerically. A numerical model of boundary discretization type was developed to calculate the wave field.

Global City as an Emergent Category of Practice in Jakarta: Conjuncture, Capaciousness and Contentions

Area, Volume 58, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In April 2024, the Indonesian government officially declared Jakarta a global city. Although scholars have noted that Jakarta's connectedness to the global system and the aspiration to transform Jakarta into a global city are not new, the lexicon was not yet substantively marshalled in Jakarta's policies and plans.
