Single Slope Shore Protection as a Wave Energy Catcher
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Wave energy is being increasingly regarded in many countries as a major, promising and renewable resource. This paper presents the development of slope coastal protection as a wave energy converter by capturing sea water into the reservoir through ...

Experimental study on scour and erosion of blocked dam
Water Science and Engineering, 2012 This paper presents new experimental data of the erosion rate and sediment transport rate during the processes of dam break caused by overtopping. In order to study the headcut migration, the erosion coefficient was calculated and its peak value was ...

Utopia Remembers: The Soviet Past in the Imagined Communist Future
The Russian Review, EarlyView.Abstract After a twenty‐five‐year hiatus, the reappearance of utopian literature in 1957 prompted Soviet literary watchdogs to corral the subgenre into an ideologically‐acceptable mold. A key requirement was for future generations to be depicted as reverently commemorating the past.

International Journal of Maritime Technology, 2015 Wave overtopping at breakwaters is one of their essential hydraulic characteristics when determining the design crest level. This study concentrates on developing a new practical formula on predicting wave overtopping, by implementing two different ...

Assessing Dominant Uncertainties in Future Precipitation Projections for a Hurricane‐Prone Region
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Accurate projection of future precipitation remains challenging due to uncertainties in reference data sets, bias correction and global climate models (GCMs). Here, we evaluated these uncertainties across 13 major cities of the U.S. Gulf Coast, a hurricane‐prone region, under 192 historical and future scenarios.

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.

Spatial distribution of regular wave overtopping on landscape revetment during typhoon landfalls
Applied Ocean ResearchTyphoons raise nearshore water levels and generate large waves, posing significant wave overtopping risks to low-crested revetments designed with hydrophilic considerations.
