Extreme Heat and Rainfall Risk Attributed to Cumulative CO2 Emissions From Fossil Fuel Producers
Abstract Legal and political approaches to climate accountability require demonstrating that a particular emitter contributed to a climate impact, but quantitative solutions to this attribution challenge remain nascent. This study leverages the proportionality of global warming to cumulative CO2 emissions to develop statistical models that directly ...

Extreme Events Reshape Flood Hazards Through Sediment‐Induced Channel Change in Southern Taiwan
Abstract Extreme precipitation events can cause long‐lasting changes to river systems, altering flood hazards beyond the initial disaster. We investigate how Typhoon Morakot (2009) impacted flood inundation patterns across four river catchments in southern Taiwan.

Experimental Update of the Overtopping Model Used for the Wave Dragon Wave Energy Converter
An overtopping model specifically suited for Wave Dragon is needed in order to improve the reliability of its performance estimates. The model shall be comprehensive of all relevant physical processes that affect overtopping and flexible to adapt to any ...

Wave Overtopping on Rubble Mound Breakwaters
The paper gives the results of an extensive series of hydraulic model tests carried out in a random wave flume, in order to study the effects on wave overtopping of the main geometric parameters of a typical rubble mound breakwater with crown wall.

Evaluation of a Decade of Methane Observations From a Tower Network in Indianapolis, Indiana
Abstract Methane (CH4) is a critical near‐term climate mitigation target, yet urban sources remain poorly constrained. Indianapolis hosts one of the world's longest and densest urban CH4 data sets, with continuous measurements from a tall‐tower network spanning more than a decade.

Modelling Coastal Flooding Induced by Wave Overtopping Using SCHISM Coupled with EurOtop
Coastal cities protected by artificial structures are vulnerable to wave overtopping during typhoons, where flooding can occur even when the still water level stays below the structure crest.

Analytical Approach on Wave Overtopping on Levees
An analytical approach to evaluate the amount of overtopping for given conditions is studied in this paper Here, the wave overtopping is considered as a similar phenomenon to the flow over a weir changing the depth with respect to time The theoretical approaches used by many scholars have been mostly based on the dimensional analysis In this paper ...

VERTICAL SEA WALL CREST MODIFICATIONS FOR OVERTOPPING
Crest modifications such as a storm wall, parapet or a bullnose are widely used to reduce the wave overtopping over coastal structures where spatial and visual demands restrict the crest heights, especially in urban areas. Although reduction factors of these modifications have been studied for sloped structures in EurOtop Manual (2016), there is ...
