Wave overtopping at rubble mound breakwaters with a non-reshaping berm [PDF]
, 2012 Wave overtopping was investigated by means of a physical model. The breakwater scale model was divided into 8 collection bins. Overtopped volumes were collected and pumped into floating tanks further down the flume.

Influence of directional spreading on wave overtopping of sea dikes with gentle and shallow foreshores [PDF]
, 2020 The work highlights the importance of directional spreading effects on wave overtopping estimation in shallow and mild sloping foreshores. Wave short-crestedness leads, in general, to a reduction of mean overtopping discharges on coastal structures.

Reduction of wave overtopping by Vetiver grass [PDF]
, 2006 In this research Vetiver grass is investigated as outer slope protection in order to reduce wave overtopping discharges. In consequence sea dike crest can be reduced.

The winter 2023/2024 floods in the UK: a hydrological appraisal
Weather, EarlyView.From October 2023 to March 2024, the UK saw a succession of named storms and low‐pressure weather systems, leading to widespread exceptional river flows throughout. Peak flow records were broken in several catchments, but this event was most notable for its duration and spatial footprint, which resulted in major impacts.

Wave overtopping at vertical structures: Comparison of different formulas
, 2020 Wave overtopping is considered an important aspect when designing waterfront or sea-defense structures, making it a part of any design to predict the overtopping rate.

Palaeoglaciations in the Polar and Subpolar Ural Mountains
Boreas, EarlyView.The Ural Mountains form a major physiographic boundary between the East European Plain and West Siberia, both repeatedly glaciated during the Pleistocene by the Barents–Kara ice sheet. Although the present‐day topography reflects significant glacial modification, the extent, chronology and interaction of mountain glaciers with the Barents–Kara ice ...

Boreas, EarlyView.The Dinaric Mountains are a mountain range stretching NW–SE from the Alps to the Albanides–Hellenides in central Europe. The highest parts were occupied by small ice fields and/or valley glaciers during the Quaternary cold periods, while even today some small glaciers still exist in topoclimatically favourable areas.
