Towards Enhancing Nature‐Based Solutions in Flood Risk Management in Australia: A Review of Their Barriers, Enablers, and Future Perspectives

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most frequent and destructive natural hazards globally, causing major economic and social losses each year. In response to increasing climate extremes, Nature‐based Solutions (NbS) have emerged as a sustainable and multifunctional approach to flood risk management (FRM), integrating ecological, social, and ...

Impact of an extreme storm event on a multiple intertidal barred coastal system

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extreme storms do not necessarily cause extreme coastal erosion. Integrated DGPS surveys and SWAN nearshore wave modelling reveal that Storm Barra's peak coincided with a low‐tide stage, allowing multiple intertidal bars (MITBs) to dissipate incoming wave energy before it reached Dundrum Bay's shoreline, highlighting the combined role of tidal stage ...

Seasonal dynamics of fish assemblages on breakwaters and natural rocky reefs in a temperate estuary: consistent assemblage differences driven by sub-adults.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Development of infrastructure around cities is rapidly increasing the amount of artificial substrate (termed artificial reef, 'AR') in coastal marine habitats.

Spatial variability of hydrodynamics in oyster reefs: Investigating the impact of canopy density on mean and turbulent flows

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This field study investigated how oyster canopy density modulates hydrodynamics of natural intertidal oyster reef. High‐resolution velocity measurements were taken simultaneously within and above oyster canopies of variable density (solid volume fractions, Ø=$$ \mathrm{\O}= $$ 0.04–0.21).

An Experimental Study of Pile-Supported OWC-Type Breakwaters: Energy Extraction and Vortex-Induced Energy Loss

Energies, 2016
Integrating wave energy converters with breakwaters is a promising concept for wave energy utilization. On the basis of fulfilling the wave protection demands, pile-supported Oscillating Water Column (OWC)-type breakwaters can also meet the local needs ...

Coastal Marine Carbon and Air‐Sea Fluxes Quantified From pH Sensors on an Extended AUV Deployment

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract For the first time, the Autosub Long Range (ALR) completed a fully autonomous, long‐distance (2,000 km) scientific mission, delivering new insight into coastal carbonate dynamics and air‐sea CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ fluxes. Equipped with a suite of oceanographic sensors, including a Lab‐on‐Chip (LOC) pH sensor and a Sea‐Bird SeaFET pH sensor, the

Re-designing superhydrophobic tribo-surface for wave eliminator structures [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Coastal erosion in Malaysia is a major issue, endangering both the economy and the welfare of coastal residents. According to the National Coastal Erosion Study (NCES), a considerable amount of Malaysia's coastline is at risk, which has been exacerbated ...

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.

Nonlinear Kinematic Depth Inversion Coupled With a Spectral Wave Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a bidirectional coupling between a nonlinear kinematic depth inversion method and a phase‐averaged spectral wave model to evaluate the influence of wave nonlinearity over gently sloping nearshore bathymetry. Time‐resolved wave imagery provides spatially varying frequency–wavenumber fields, whereas the simulated significant wave ...
