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

Earth'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.

On Formulae for Wave Transmission at Submerged and Low-Crested Breakwaters

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Submerged and low-crested breakwaters are nearshore barriers with an underwater or slightly emergent crest, designed to reduce the energy of wave attacks and, consequently, to protect the coast from erosion and flooding. Their performance in reducing the

Minor epic: Notes toward a different “Anthropoetry”

Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Anthropologists have often turned to poetry as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In doing so, they have tacitly conflated poetry with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival

Numerical study of wave transmission over double submerged breakwaters using non-hydrostatic wave model

Oceanologia, 2015
In the present work, a non-hydrostatic wave model SWASH (an acronym of Simulating WAves till SHore) is used to simulate the wave transmission over double trapezoidal submerged breakwaters.

Biogeomorphic Feedbacks Triggered by Mangrove Degradation at the Seaward Margin Accelerate Persistent Vegetation Decline

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Seaward mangrove edge exhibited significant retreat after extreme disturbances. Rhizophora stylosa exhibited impaired regeneration and root damage in heavily disturbed areas, trait variation primarily responded to elevation and sediment properties, vegetation loss triggered subsidence, creating a positive biogeomorphic feedback loop.

Wave dissipation effect of a new combined breakwater and its protective performance for coastal box girder bridges

Advances in Bridge Engineering
Breakwaters play an important role in in mitigating wave-induced damage to marine structures. However, conventional submerged breakwaters often exhibit limited wave dissipation capabilities, while floating breakwaters may lack adequate safety performance.

Generation and Dissipation of Infragravity Waves Over Natural and Engineered Chenier Plain During Hurricane Laura

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Infragravity (IG) waves play a crucial role in nearshore hydrodynamics and sediment transport; however, their generation and dissipation mechanisms during extreme storms remain challenging to assess due to limited data availability, site‐specific characteristics of natural landscapes, and anthropogenic effects.

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 397-421, April/June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.
