Abstract Soft cliffed coasts are particularly vulnerable to erosion and their retreat depends on environmental, geological and geomechanical factors. In this work, we use a mathematical modeling approach to understand effects of future global sea level rise on these coasts over multiple centuries.

Process-based indicators to assess storm induced coastal hazards [PDF]
Storms are responsible for several hazards (e.g. overwash, erosion, inundation) in coastal areas, leading to the destruction of property and loss of life in populated areas.

Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Coastal Defenses Against Flooding
Abstract Coastal flooding is growing substantially as storms increase and sea levels rise rapidly due to climate change. It is therefore important to find safe and sustainable ways to protect coastal communities against this growing risk. However, the effectiveness of traditional coastal defenses (hard seawalls) (HS) is being questioned due to concerns

Observations and Preliminary Vulnerability Assessment of a Hybrid Dune-Based Living Shoreline
A novel hybrid (e.g., vegetation, sand, cobble, rip-rap) nature-based dune structure was constructed at Cardiff State Beach in Encinitas, California, to protect a critical transportation artery from undermining and frequent flooding.

Morphodynamic Model Suitable for River Flow and Wave-Current Interaction [PDF]
Morphodynamic models are a great support in water environment management and decision-making, as well as in integrated coastal zone planning. In the present paper, a 2DH model is presented, able to deal with both currents, waves and their mutual ...

Vulnerability of Key Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches to Future Erosion and Sea Level Rise
Abstract Threatened sea turtles rely on sandy beaches for nesting, linking their long‐term survival to global beach availability. However, beaches worldwide are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic stressors and sea level rise (SLR). Reliable vulnerability assessments require understanding beach dynamics across multiple time scales, informed by ...

Unveiling the Stochasticity of Bank Erosion: A Hybrid Deterministic and Stochastic Modeling Approach
This paper presents a new hybrid deterministic‐stochastic river morphodynamics numerical modeling approach that integrates a hydrodynamic model (deterministic) with a bed morphodynamic model (deterministic) and a bank erosion model (Markovian stochastic).

Extreme Coastal Waves Due To Australian East Coast Lows in a Warming Climate
Abstract The southeast coastline of Australia is frequently impacted by East Coast Lows (ECLs), hybrid storms with both tropical and extratropical characteristics. Although typically short‐lived and spatially limited, ECLs can rapidly intensify and generate extreme waves that cause severe coastal erosion and associated hazards.

Abstract The unexpected collapse of the Marmolada Glacier in the Italian Alps on 3 July 2022, caused 11 fatalities and emphasized the need for a deeper understanding of unstable glaciers. In response, we initiated a radar monitoring campaign to assess the stability of the remaining ice cliff and obtained a near‐continuous data set of displacement at ...
