STATISTICAL PROPERTIES OF SHORT-TERM OVERTOPPING
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1984 It has been recognized recently that large waves tend to form a group in random sea waves. Overtopping tends to occur particularly when a group of high waves attacks a sea wall. If the capacity of a storage reservoir inside the sea wall is not sufficiently large enough to store a total amount of overtopping brought about by a single group of ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction The Wetlands Reserve Easement (WRE) program accounts for the majority of private land afforestation in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV), but consistent ecological monitoring is not often feasible after restoration activities are complete.

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 ...

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 ...

An 11-year validation of wave-surge modelling in the Irish Sea, using a nested POLCOMS-WAM modelling system [PDF]
, 2010 In the future it is believed that extreme coastal flooding events will increase (in frequency and intensity) as a result of climate change. We are investigating the flood risks in the eastern Irish Sea posed by extreme storm events.

Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

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.

The Influence of Geometrical Shape Changes on Wave Overtopping: a Laboratory and SPH Numerical Study [PDF]
, 2018 This paper presents laboratory investigations of four “retrofit” suggestions for attenuating the overtopping from vertical seawall. Two-dimensional physical model experiments were performed on a vertical seawall with a 1:20 sloping foreshore ...

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Floods are one of the leading causes of death from natural hazards in the United States (US). Better prediction of bankfull flow is needed in order to communicate potential flood risks and initiate response within forecasting frameworks. Traditional bankfull flow estimations are based on empirical equations whose accuracy is shown to be ...
