Investigating the Response Amplitude Operator of a Heaving Pontoon under the Influence of a Submerged Trapezoidal Breakwater

Advances in Civil Engineering, 2020
Although breakwaters are of great importance to damp the wave energy and protect floating vessels/facilities, they are not fully successful in reducing the waves’ height.

Divergent exploratory‐avoidant behavioural strategies may drive niche differentiation in juvenile Antarctic fishes

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We used an ecological niche theory framework integrating physiological and behavioural ecology to understand interspecific differentiation of juveniles of four Antarctic fishes: Trematomus bernacchii, Trematomus pennellii, Trematomus nicolai and Pagothenia borchgrevinki.

CYCLONE MODELS FOR A SUBMERGED BREAKWATER

Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2014
Kahului Harbor, located on the north shore of Maui, Hawaii, is approached by waves from the northwest in winter and northeast in summer. Wave energy entering the harbor during large swell events has repeatedly caused damage to existing protective structures and operations.

Impact of light pollution on fishes: Mechanisms and ecological consequences

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The increasing prevalence of artificial light at night (ALAN) is of growing ecological concern. By altering natural light regimes, ALAN affects the behaviour, physiology and life‐history of organisms. While research has largely focused on terrestrial ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems are increasingly exposed.

Modeling the Impact of the Implementation of a Submerged Structure on Surf Zone Sandbar Dynamics

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019
Coastal defense strategies based on structures are increasingly unpopular as they are costly, leave lasting scars on the landscape, and sometimes have limited effectiveness or even adverse impacts.

Impacts of Coastal Infrastructure Upgrades on the Endangered Marine Alga Nereia lophocladia

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Coastal protection infrastructure is routinely upgraded to address structural degradation and rising sea levels. Such work can have unintended ecological impacts depending on the habitats and species involved, as well as the environmental mitigations undertaken.

Numerical Model Applicability Based on a Hydraulic Characteristic Analysis of an Eco-friendly Double-row Submerged Breakwater

한국해양공학회지
In this study, a submerged breakwater with effective wave control and eco-friendly characteristics is developed and proposed. Hydraulic experiments are conducted to compare the hydraulic performance of a submerged breakwater and an eco-friendly double ...

Early‐Stage Distribution of the Invasive Alga Rugulopteryx okamurae on the Catalan Coast: First Quantitative Baseline

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The non‐indigenous brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae has rapidly expanded across the eastern Atlantic and the western Mediterranean Sea. The first record on the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean) was in July 2024 in Llançà (Girona), followed by additional detections at nearby localities.

SOLITARY WAVES PASSING OVER SUBMERGED BREAKWATERS

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1988
A method is described for the computation of the two-dimensional unsteady motion of a solitary wave passing over submerged breakwaters. Far from the breakwater the fluid is assumed static and the sea bed is level. The fluid motion is assumed to be irrotational, incompressible and inviscid.

Fractal Analysis, Morpho‐Sedimentary Aspects and Coastal Vulnerability in Mediterranean Islands: A Novel Approach

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 10, October 2026.
An integrated framework combining fractal geometry, sedimentology and coastal exposure analysis revealed higher coastal vulnerability in Procida than in Mykonos despite the latter's greater shoreline complexity. This approach provides a robust tool for assessing morphodynamics and supporting sustainable management of Mediterranean island coasts ...
