The effect of waves on rubble-mound structures [PDF]

, 1975
For thousands of years breakwaters have been built at or near the coast to protect harbors or coastlines from wave attack. One of the earliest known harbor protection schemes was devised in about 2000 B.C.

Parsimonious and Transferrable Parameterization of Reservoir Operations: A Modular Approach for Large‐Scale Modeling

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Accurately representing daily reservoir operations in large‐scale hydrological and water resource modeling remains challenging due to both the complex and unclear nature of real‐world operations and very limited availability of operation records for many reservoirs worldwide.

Numerical Approach for Predicting Levee Overtopping in River Curves Through Dimensionless Parameters

Applied Sciences
Recent climate changes have led to an increase in flood intensity, often resulting in frequent levee overtopping, which causes significant human and property damage.

Experimental Update of the Overtopping Model Used for the Wave Dragon Wave Energy Converter

Energies, 2013
An overtopping model specifically suited for Wave Dragon is needed in order to improve the reliability of its performance estimates. The model shall be comprehensive of all relevant physical processes that affect overtopping and flexible to adapt to any ...

An 11-year validation of wave-surge modelling in the Irish Sea, using a nested POLCOMS-WAM modelling system [PDF]

, 2010
In the future it is believed that extreme coastal flooding events will increase (in frequency and intensity) as a result of climate change. We are investigating the flood risks in the eastern Irish Sea posed by extreme storm events.

Timing and Style of Tectonic Assembly and Exhumation of the McHugh Complex Within the Chugach‐Kodiak Accretionary Wedge, Alaska

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Accretionary complexes are key archives of subduction zone processes, preserving records of forearc growth, deformation, and tectonic reorganization. The Chugach–Kodiak accretionary complex of southern Alaska records Jurassic to Cretaceous underplating at shallow to intermediate subduction conditions. The McHugh Complex, an imbricated sequence

Integration of light quality signals regulates ABA abundance and stomatal movements during seedling establishment

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 1253-1267, February 2026.
Summary Obtaining sufficient light for photosynthesis and avoiding desiccation are two key challenges faced by seedlings during early establishment. Perception of light quality via specialised photoreceptors signals the availability of sunlight for photosynthesis.

Embankment overtopping protection systems [PDF]

Acta Geotechnica, 2014
For the last decades, the design floods of numerous embankment reservoirs were re-evaluated, and the revised spillway outflows are typically larger than those used in the original designs. As a result, a number of overtopping protection systems were developed for embankments and earthfill dams, with applications encompassing river dykes, coastal ...

Prediction of Mean Wave Overtopping Discharge Using Gradient Boosting Decision Trees

Water, 2020
Wave overtopping is an important design criterion for coastal structures such as dikes, breakwaters and promenades. Hence, the prediction of the expected wave overtopping discharge is an important research topic.

Ichnological insights into deoxygenation across the Cenomanian–Turonian Boundary Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 in the northern extent of Western Interior Seaway (west‐central Alberta)

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 355-390, February 2026.
ABSTRACT In‐depth ichnological and sedimentological analyses of the Cenomanian–Turonian boundary Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE2) from the Western Interior Seaway of west‐central Alberta reveal a persistent physico‐chemically stressed setting. The interval is characterised by a dominantly diminutive and diminished ichnological assemblage, with familiar ...
