Experimental Study on Wave Transmission and Reflection at Impermeable Submerged Breakwaters

open access: yesInternational Journal of Coastal and Offshore Engineering, 2017
Submerged breakwaters are a special type of breakwater associated with low wave reflection. They can also save large quantities of engineering resources from the view of economics.

Eastern United States: Potential Range for Ecologically Based Coastal Defenses in 2100

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
These maps show where black mangroves can potentially thrive along the US east coast by the end of the 21st century under several climate scenarios. Similar work was done for oyster reefs and saltmarshes. ABSTRACT Eco‐defenses (mangroves, oyster reefs, and saltmarshes) are ecosystems that can help to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and erosion ...

A Mass Conservation Model to Study the Evolution of Coastal Soft Cliffs Driven by Sea Level Rise Over Multi‐Century Timescales

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Soft cliffed coasts are particularly vulnerable to erosion and their retreat depends on environmental, geological and geomechanical factors. In this work, we use a mathematical modeling approach to understand effects of future global sea level rise on these coasts over multiple centuries.

Effectiveness of Ecosystem‐Based Coastal Defenses Against Flooding

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Coastal flooding is growing substantially as storms increase and sea levels rise rapidly due to climate change. It is therefore important to find safe and sustainable ways to protect coastal communities against this growing risk. However, the effectiveness of traditional coastal defenses (hard seawalls) (HS) is being questioned due to concerns

Wave Transformation between Submerged Breakwater and Seawall

open access: yes, 2014
This paper presents the experimental results of wave transformation between a submerged permeable breakwater and a seawall including variations of the wave profile, the piling-up of water and the wave run-up.

Seagrasses are most vulnerable to marine heatwaves in tropical zones: local‐scale and broad climatic zone variation in thermal tolerances

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 2835-2851, March 2026.
Summary Under a changing climate, it is imperative that we understand how species may respond to temperature impacts, which can differ among populations of the same species due to local drivers. Thermal tolerance data, which can be used to assess an organism's upper thermal limits, is valuable to identify species and/or populations' susceptibility to ...

Analytical study of oblique wave scattering by a submerged pile–rock breakwater

open access: yes, 2017
This study examines the scattering of obliquely incident waves by a submerged pile–rock breakwater, which consists of two rows of closely spaced piles and a rock core between them.

Wave Transmision on Interlocking Concrete Block Submerged Breakwater

open access: yesJurnal Teknik Hidraulik, 2018
When a large dimension of rock needed for an armored layer of breakwater, the scarcity of it became a major adversity, because of that many research subject of using concrete as a substitute for rock performed.

Transformation of statistical and spectral wave periods crossing a smooth low-crested structure

open access: yesOceanologia, 2012
We carried out experimental studies of a smooth submerged breakwater in a wave channel in order to study such a structure impacts on thechanges of statistically and spectrally defined representative wave periods as waves cross it.
