Holistic analysis of shoreline change and mudbank dynamics across the Guiana coastline

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
Annual analysis of shoreline change across the entire Guiana coastline, northern South America, including quantification of the rate and nature of alongshore mudbank migration and cross‐shore mangrove establishment and loss was conducted. Identification of other key coastal landforms contributing to exceptional rates of shoreline change across the ...

Parameterizing air–sea CO2 transfer in a macroalgal habitat and assessing its role in marine carbon dioxide removal accounting

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Accurately quantifying air–sea CO2 exchange remains a central challenge for the measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of marine carbon dioxide removal. I apply direct eddy covariance measurements of CO2 fluxes at a macroalgae‐dominated coast to compile the first gas transfer velocity (k660) parameterization for such a habitat.

Surface complexity and gastropod exclusion drive colonization of an intertidal eco‐engineered structure

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Habitat complexity and grazing by invertebrate molluscs shaped community structure and ecosystem functioning on eco‐engineered substrates through distinct mechanisms. Increasing structural complexity increased invertebrate species richness with limited effects on macroalgae and carbon flux, while grazer exclusion had strong effects on macroalgal ...

The Global Contribution of Individual Submarine Groundwater Discharge Components to the Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Saline submarine groundwater discharge (SSGD) contributes to ocean chemistry through water‐rock interactions as seawater circulates in coastal aquifers. Its components, driven by different mechanisms, exhibit varying residence times and degrees of chemical alteration, so constraining solute fluxes requires quantifying each component.

Floating breakwaters: Literature review

, 1984
The purpose of this report is to find out which floating breakwaters can be utilized in open sea conditions and what can be expected of them. Since every breakwater interferes with the energy of the waves, it is logical that a probable power generation ...

Wave energy extraction and hydroelastic response reduction of modular floating breakwaters as array wave energy converters integrated into a very large floating structure [PDF]

, 2022
Combing floating breakwaters with wave energy converters (WECs) and integrating them into very large floating structure (VLFS) can provide a viable option to explore economically offshore wave energy resources and simultaneously to protect marine ...

Life Cycle Environmental Impacts and Socio‐Economic Implications of Tidal Electricity Generation and Storage in the UK

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
If tidal electricity generation and storage replaced natural gas and battery storage by 2050, it could reduce the climate change impact of UK grid electricity by 71%, saving up to 4.4 Mt CO2 eq./y. Most other environmental impacts would be reduced by up to 24%. However, high costs and low public acceptability hinder its deployment. ABSTRACT Tidal range

Effectiveness of Floating Breakwaters: Wave attenuating floating structures

, 2013
From previous engineering projects it turned out that it is difficult to determine the transmitted wave height of floating breakwaters without performing physical models or using numerical models.

Comparison of the Impact of Akmon, Sta-bar, Sta-pod, Stock cube, and Tribar Armoring Layers on the Level of Flow Rate and Wave Overtopping [PDF]

Journal of Hydraulic and Water Engineering
Breakwaters are structures whose main function is to reduce waves in an area and create a calm basin for the stopping, movement, and maneuvering of floating objects.
