Thresholds of Wave Forcing: Implications for Atoll Reef Dynamics Under Sea Level Rise

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We investigate the response of shallow reef flow to tidal variability and wave exposure during a 4‐month field campaign in southern Huvadhu Atoll, Maldives. Incident waves breaking on steep fore reefs and reef crests generate a setup proportional to offshore wave height that drives a cross‐reef flow. We emphasize a critical threshold—where the

Protect, Adapt or Relocate? Responding to Climate Change in Coastal Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
On the coast of Java, Semarang City faces a multitude of climate-related problems including sea-level rise, flash and tidal floods, subsidence and coastal erosion. Using four case-study villages, this working paper explores how households are coping with

2-D Physical Modeling to Measure the Effectiveness of Perforated Skirt Breakwater for Short-Period Waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The effectiveness of a breakwater can be measured by quantifying the transmission coefficient (KT). The smaller the coefficient, the better the performance of the breakwater.

Optimising Wave Energy Plant Location Through Neutrosophic Multi‐Criteria Group Decision‐Making

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 167-189, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The global shift towards sustainable energy has intensified research into renewable sources, particularly wave energy. Pakistan, with its long coastline, holds significant potential for wave energy development. However, identifying optimal locations for wave energy plants involves evaluating complex, multi‐faceted criteria.

Green measures for Mediterranean harbours under a changing climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Harbour operability may be hampered by climate change. Green solutions can be used to provide extra flexibility with respect to present grey infrastructure to adapt to, and mitigate, such functional disruptions with affordable costs.

Invertebrate Biodiversity Associated With a Unique Bryozoan Biogenic Reef Complex (Western Port, Victoria, Australia)

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A unique biogenic bryozoan reef has been recently discovered in Western Port (a temperate embayment), Victoria, Australia. This reef is significant owing to its contiguous, regular, linear rows of densely stacked bryozoan colonies with large vertical relief. We aimed to (1) document the biodiversity of the macroinvertebrate epifauna associated

Reservoir Regulation has Brought a Classic River‐Dominated Delta Under Human Control

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Damming of wild rivers has trapped vast quantities of sediment that would otherwise nourish deltas, causing severe sediment deficits and accelerating delta erosion worldwide. The Yellow River Delta (YRD), once prograding seaward at ∼10 km2/yr, began retreating at −5.6 km2/yr following completion of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir.

CYCLONE MODELS FOR A SUBMERGED BREAKWATER

open access: yesProceedings 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.
