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.

Quantifying the Sea Level and Estuary Contributions to Changing High Water Levels in Four Major Australian Estuaries

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Coastal inundation occurs when the total height of mean sea level (MSL), tide, and surge, including subsequent propagation into estuaries, exceeds a given threshold. We developed a nonparametric Joint Probability of Maxima Method and applied to four major Australian estuaries, deriving frequency‐based exceedance thresholds and quantifying the ...

Generation and Dissipation of Infragravity Waves Over Natural and Engineered Chenier Plain During Hurricane Laura

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Infragravity (IG) waves play a crucial role in nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport; however, their generation and dissipation mechanisms during extreme storms remain challenging to assess due to limited data availability, site‐specific characteristics of natural landscapes, and anthropogenic effects.

Phytoplankton and Temperature Control Seasonal Dynamics of Greenhouse Gases in a Large River

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rivers are a dynamic source of greenhouse gases (GHGs), yet the temporal variability and controlling mechanisms of their CO2:CH4:N2O ratios remain poorly constrained. We monitored the three GHGs in the German river Elbe over 5 years at two sites to identify seasonal controls as well as travel time related and site‐specific mechanisms driving ...

Failures of harbour walls at Malaga and Barcelona [PDF]

, 2011
The paper describes the failure of harbour walls which occurred at Malaga on 4th July 2004 and at Barcelona on 1st January 2007, associated with an inadequate consideration of the ground conditions in the light of the marine environment. At Malaga, there

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 644-666, May 2026.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city's circulatory flows ...
