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.

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.

Performance of a New Floating Breakwater

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Abstract The need of floating breakwater is increased to protect harbour by wave storm. The study and development of some model have been done in the past decade. However, their model still not effective to protect harbour against wave period greater than 5.0 second. This study deals with performance of a new type floating breakwaters in

NON-LINEAR WAVE FORCES ON FLOATING BREAKWATERS [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1982
A non-linear numerical method for calculating wave forces on floating bodies has been developed by Isaacson (1981). The time stepping procedure is programmed for a computer solution, and an incident wave train is time stepped past a fixed two-dimensional rectangular breakwater.

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.

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.

Effect of Wave Interaction With Comb-Shaped Floating Breakwater Near Partially Reflecting Seawall and Submerged Porous Structures

IEEE Access
This study investigates the interaction of surface gravity waves with a comb-shaped floating breakwater near an inclined partially reflecting seawall at a finite distance from an array of submerged triangular head porous structures.

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 ...
