The Sensitivity of a Dike-Marsh System to Sea-Level Rise—A Model-Based Exploration
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Integrating natural components in flood defence infrastructure can add resilience to sea-level rise. Natural foreshores can keep pace with sea-level rise by accumulating sediment and attenuate waves before reaching the adjacent flood defences.

Environmental Stability and Electronic Properties of Individual Flakes of Ti2CTx MXene
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.The paper presents a synthesis of large Ti2CTx MXene flakes with sizes reaching 40 µm and examines their environmental stability and electronic behavior. It demonstrates that monolayer flakes degrade rapidly in ambient conditions, leading to semiconducting‐like behavior with low conductivity and mobility. In contrast, multilayer flakes exhibit enhanced
