Beyond Water: Mapping Sediment Bars to Enhance Satellite Monitoring of River Dynamics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Unvegetated sediment bars are central to river morphodynamics but are rarely used as indicators of channel dynamicity in satellite‐based studies. Linking sediment dynamics and river lateral mobility requires monitoring sustained changes in both water and sediment—the active channel (AC)—to avoid stage‐dependent noise.

Techno-Economic Analysis and Power Take-Off Optimization of a Wave Energy Converter Adjacent to a Vertical Seawall

open access: yesEnergies
Wave energy converters (WECs) that are installed in nearshore environments offer several practical advantages, including easier access, lower maintenance, reduced transmission costs, and potential integration with the existing coastal infrastructure ...

Long-term modifications of coastal defences enhance marine biodiversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Realization that hard coastal infrastructures support lower biodiversity than natural habitats has prompted a wealth of research seeking to identify design enhancements offering ecological benefits. Some studies showed that artificial structures could be

When Rain Meets Surge: Assessing Future Typhoon‐Driven Compound Flood Hazard Profiles in a Rapidly Urbanizing Delta

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Typhoon‐induced Compound Flood (TCF), driven by the combined impact of extreme rainfall and increasing coastal water level (CWL), poses a substantial threat to urban safety. This study presents a framework for assessing the future compound flood hazard profiles in a coastal megacity in the Delta region of southern China.

Multi-Point Seawall Settlement Modeling Using DTW-Based Hierarchical Clustering and AJSO-LSTM Method

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
A seawall settlement is a critical concern in marine engineering, as an excessive or uneven settlement can undermine structural stability and diminish the capacity to withstand marine hydrodynamic actions such as storm surges, waves, and tides ...

The Calgary Tanks at Dieppe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Since 1942 the Dieppe Raid has been the subject of much controversy and debate concerning its political and military background, aims, plans, execution and supposed “lessons learned.” Although historians have documented their arguments well, they have ...

Behaviour of Temperate Reef Fish Species Around Oyster Aquaculture Farms and Natural Rock Reefs

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cultivation of eastern oysters using aquaculture gear increases habitat for temperate reef fish. Cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus), scup (Stenotomus chrysops) and tautog (Tautoga onitis) inhabit a variety of complex natural and manmade habitats, including oyster aquaculture cage farms.

Wave Run-Up Distance Prediction Combined Data-Driven Method and Physical Experiments

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Predicting wave run-up on seawalls is essential for assessing coastal flood risk and guiding resilient design. In this study, we combine physical model experiments with a hybrid data driven method to forecast wave run-up distance.

Assessing Long-Term Changes in the Beach Width of Reef Islands Based on Temporally Fragmented Remote Sensing Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2014
Atoll islands are subject to a variety of processes that influence their geomorphological development. Analysis of historical shoreline changes using remotely sensed images has become an efficient approach to both quantify past changes and estimate ...

Habitat enhancing marine structures: Creating habitat in urban waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Although maritime regions support a large portion of the world’s human population, their value as habitat for other species is overlooked. Urban structures that are built in the marine environment are not designed or managed for the habitat they ...
