Wave overtopping on a low-crested seawall under extreme waves [PDF]

Extreme waves in global nearshore regions, frequently accompanied by wave setup, can transform seawalls into low-crested structures. Such events pose threats to coastal infrastructure due to enhanced overtopping and intense hydrodynamic loads imposed on ...

Overtopping Performance of a Pier-Type Slope-Ramp Breakwater-Integrated Overtopping Wave Energy Converter: An Experimental Study

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Overtopping wave energy converters share a similar geometry with traditional slope-ramp breakwaters, allowing integrated development that simultaneously ensures the basic protection function of the structure and realizes wave energy absorption.

Drowned carbonate‐rimmed margin controlling shelf‐edge delta progradation and sedimentation dynamics: Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Formation, Texas, USA

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Shelf‐edge deltas are commonly interpreted to record basinward facies migration across uninterrupted, gently dipping shelf margins; however, examples from mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins reveal more complex depositional dynamics. Periods and areas of carbonate sedimentation within mixed siliciclastic‐carbonate margins can modify shelf ...

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...

Prediction of Mean Overtopping Discharge at Vertical Seawalls Using MLR and GLM Statistical Approaches

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 ...

Beyond Risk Reduction: Leveraging Multiple Resilience Dividend Concept for Transformative Adaptation Planning

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
This paper presents a framework for Multiple Resilience Dividends (MRD) that proposes shift climate change adaptation from a narrow risk‐focused perspective to a broader, multi‐objective systems approach. By recognizing the diverse range of benefits that adaptation measures can provide, practitioners can go beyond merely avoiding losses.

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 ...

A Field Guide to Corralling the Chaos: A Planning Framework for Using Models to Guide Opportunistic Field Studies of Natural Disturbances

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Watersheds regulate biogeochemical processes and provide ecosystem services to human societies, but disturbances can fundamentally alter these processes across space and time. Determining when and where to sample to capture disturbance impacts in watersheds remains a central challenge.

Spatial distribution of regular wave overtopping on landscape revetment during typhoon landfalls

Applied Ocean Research
Typhoons raise nearshore water levels and generate large waves, posing significant wave overtopping risks to low-crested revetments designed with hydrophilic considerations.
