Barrier island erosion and overwash study -- effect of seawalls. Volume 2 [PDF]
, 1992 This is the second of a pair of reports documenting the effects of storms on beach systems including the presence of seawalls. With the aim of simulating the effects of overwash on barrier islands with seawalls and characterizing their response, a ...

An analytical model for bore-driven run-up [PDF]
, 2008 We use a hodograph transformation and a boundary integral method to derive a new analytical solution to the shallow-water equations describing bore-generated run-up on a plane beach.

Water Resources ResearchAddressing the limitations of traditional overtopping risk analysis methods, which either consider only a single failure mode or fail to accurately characterize the nonlinear characteristics of reservoir levels, this paper proposes a novel overtopping ...

Living With Peak Discharge Uncertainty: The Self-learning Dike [PDF]
, 2008 Although river dikes still play a key role for flood protection in the Netherlands\ud there is a growing interest for other measures to deal with larger peak discharges, such as\ud lowering or widening the floodplains.

Coastal cliff ground motions and response to extreme storm waves [PDF]
, 2015 Coastal cliff erosion from storm waves is observed worldwide, but the processes are notoriously difficult to measure during extreme storm wave conditions when most erosion normally occurs, limiting our understanding of cliff processes.

Boreas, EarlyView.We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

COMPARISON OF NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS FOR OVERTOPPING DISCHARGE OF THE OBREC WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2017 OBREC is the latest innovation of overtopping wave energy converter (WEC) which is coalesced with the rubble mound breakwaters. The acquisition of wave overtopping in a front reservoir and consequently releasing process through turbine is the concept of ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Many of the existing reservoir dams are constructed in alpine and gorge regions, where the topography and geological conditions are complicated, bank slopes are steep, and landslides have a high potential to occur.

WALOWA (wave loads on walls) : large-scale experiments in the delta flume [PDF]
, 2017 Overtopping wave loads on vertical structures on top of a dike have been investigated in several small scale experiments in the past. A large-scale validation for a mild foreshore situation is still missing.

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.We present the most densely sampled phylogeny of Carex section Lupulinae to date (107 specimens) and describe herein a new cryptic species for science from the southern United States, which is locally abundant and found in well‐explored and densely populated areas. Combining DNA sequences with morphometric data obtained from 299 samples, we Demonstrate
