Corrosion and Degradation of Materials in Marine Environments: Implications for Coastal and Offshore Infrastructure

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study presents a failure‐oriented analysis of corrosion in marine infrastructure, linking degradation mechanisms to crack initiation, fatigue propagation, and structural failure. A unified framework is proposed to connect environmental exposure, material degradation, and reliability, supporting failure prediction, inspection planning, and life ...

The Structure and Lifecycle of Stratified Mixing by Shear Instabilities in Continuously Forced Flows

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The turbulent energy cascade of ocean mixing remains poorly understood at geophysically large Reynolds numbers (Re $\mathrm{R}\mathrm{e}$). Here we propose a new conceptual model for the structure of small‐scale mixing grounded in high‐resolution multibeam echosounding observations from the mouth of the Connecticut River, a shallow salt‐wedge ...

Experimental Study On The Performance Of Submerged Breakwater As Shore Protection Structure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
. In this study the efficiency of the submerged breakwater as shore protection structure has been investigated experimentally. To investigate the performance of the submerged breakwater, experiments are conducted in a two dimensional wave flume which is ...

Surface complexity and gastropod exclusion drive colonization of an intertidal eco‐engineered structure

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Habitat complexity and grazing by invertebrate molluscs shaped community structure and ecosystem functioning on eco‐engineered substrates through distinct mechanisms. Increasing structural complexity increased invertebrate species richness with limited effects on macroalgae and carbon flux, while grazer exclusion had strong effects on macroalgal ...

Wave transformation over submerged permeable breakwater on porous bottom

open access: yes, 2014
A numerical model is presented in this study to investigate the wave transformation over a submerged permeable breakwater on a porous slope seabed. For this purpose, the time-dependent mild-slope equation is newly derived for waves propagating over two ...

Numerical simulation of wave attenuation and shoreline response in a coastal region with submerged breakwater

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
The non-hydrostatic numerical model NHWAVE was employed to investigate the hydrodynamic behavior of a coastal region with submerged breakwater, focusing on the structural dimensions and incident wave conditions. In the numerical experiment, regular waves

Influence of Submerged Breakwater on Longshore Currents

open access: yesDEStech Transactions on Materials Science and Engineering, 2017
Submerged breakwater is a kind of commonly used maritime sheltering structures, so it is necessary to accurately grasp the hydrodynamic characteristics before and after the submerged breakwater. Based on the longshore current experiment in harbor, taking the trapezoid submerged breakwater as the research object, this paper analyzes the influence of ...

Submerged modular breakwaters for coastal protection [PDF]

open access: yesWIT Transactions on Engineering Sciences, 2014
Submerged breakwaters are widely used for establishment and protection of coastal wetlands; nevertheless, construction of breakwaters in the sea domain has always been a challenge to engineers. This research introduces a number of submerged breakwaters that are made of a plurality of rectangular/triangular concrete modules.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

Significant Coastal Dune Loss Challenges California's Climate Resilience and Biodiversity Goals

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Coastal sand dunes support unique biodiversity and buffer beaches and communities against storm impacts. However, these sensitive and dynamic ecosystems are increasingly threatened by erosion, sea‐level rise (SLR), and encroaching coastal development.
