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.

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 ...

Floating breakwater performance

, 1984
Floating breakwaters provide an alternative form of wave barrier to conventional rubble mound and caisson breakwaters in low to moderate wave climates with relatively short wave periods. This report reviews the literature on floating breakwaters and discusses existing and potential uses of floating breakwaters in Australia.
