Sensitivity of Storm Response to Antecedent Topography in the XBeach Model

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Antecedent topography is an important aspect of coastal morphology when studying and forecasting coastal change hazards. The uncertainty in morphologic response of storm-impact models and their use in short-term hazard forecasting and decadal forecasting

Dunes on Pluto

Science, 2018
Methane ice dunes on Pluto Wind-blown sand or ice dunes are known on Earth, Mars, Venus, Titan, and comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Telfer et al. used images taken by the New Horizons spacecraft to identify dunes in the Sputnik Planitia region on Pluto (see the Perspective by Hayes).

A Review of Disturbances to the Ecosystems of the Mexican Caribbean, Their Causes and Consequences

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
In a relatively short timescale (less than 50 years), urbanization has caused many anthropogenic disturbances that have affected ecosystem health and, directly or indirectly, quality of life for the local human population.
