A non-hydrostatic model for wave evolution on a submerged trapezoidal breakwater

Results in Applied Mathematics, 2023
A depth-averaged non-hydrostatic model is formulated to investigate wave evolution on a water channel with a submerged trapezoidal breakwater. This model is an extension of nonlinear shallow water equations that includes hydrodynamic pressure and ...

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.

An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

New 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

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.

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

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

WAVE DIFFRACTION AND TRANSMISSION BY A SUBMERGED BREAKWATER

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018
The wave field around a rectangular submerged breakwater is investigated by means of an experiment in numerical wave flume. The results were compared with those obtained making use of the Boundary Element Method. The numerical experiment is carried out to determine the share of the incident wave energy that are reflected, dissipated over the roof of ...

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.
