Overtopping of Berm Breakwaters Evaluation of Overtopping Formula

, 2005
The berm breakwater concept is basicly rather old, but was not used very much until it was “reinvented” in the early 1980’ties, when a slope protection for an airfield runway extending into the sea in the Alutian Islands, Alaska was designed.

Impact of an extreme storm event on a multiple intertidal barred coastal system

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extreme storms do not necessarily cause extreme coastal erosion. Integrated DGPS surveys and SWAN nearshore wave modelling reveal that Storm Barra's peak coincided with a low‐tide stage, allowing multiple intertidal bars (MITBs) to dissipate incoming wave energy before it reached Dundrum Bay's shoreline, highlighting the combined role of tidal stage ...

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.

Hydraulic reconstruction of catastrophic drainage from the Late Glacial, Lake Fraser, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 873-887, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

Implications of heterogeneous embankment conditions for geoelectrical investigations on dams: A case study at Mactaquac Dam, Canada

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 303-324, August 2026.
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has been shown to be effective for surveying and monitoring dams, due to the method's sensitivity to moisture content and relevant physical properties (e.g., porosity). Automated ERT systems, capable of time‐lapse monitoring, can be used to detect variations in ground conditions.

Long‐term management of extensive plastron thermal burn with surgical debridement and negative pressure wound therapy in an African spurred tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata)

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract An adult, male African spurred tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata) was presented for evaluation of severe thermal burns of the plastron, approximately 5 months after an enclosure fire. On presentation, limbs were ulcerated, and the plastron was soft to touch with necrotic tissue and purulent discharge.

Increasing Frequency of Coastal Erosion Indicated by a Hindcast Model of Storm‐Driven Forcing Calibrated With Beach Stratigraphy

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Beach stratigraphy at North Beach, Sandy Hook, New Jersey is used to calibrate a model of coastal erosion, establish a model‐based erosion threshold, and evaluate how often threshold conditions have been exceeded since 1979 through hindcast analysis.

Spatial Variability and Drivers of Salt Marsh Cliff Erosion in the Dutch Wadden Sea: From Observation to Simulation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Lateral erosion of salt marshes via cliff retreat is a primary cause of global marsh loss, driven by interactions between hydrodynamics, sediment, and vegetation. While previous studies show a linear relationship between wave power and cliff retreat, models based on this relationship are largely unvalidated for short‐term (sub‐yearly) and ...

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 ...

Calculation of Flood Control and Drainage Benefits of Levee Projects Considering Socio‐Economic Changes

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Traditional methods for assessing levee projects focus solely on single‐year economic data, evaluating only the reduction in flood‐related economic losses while neglecting the benefits of saving lives and the dynamic changes in the economy and population over the project's design life.
