A review of wave energy technology from a research and commercial perspective
Abstract Although wave energy prototypes have been proposed for more than 100 years, they have still not reached full commercialisation. The reasons for this are varied, but include the diversity of device operating principles, the variety of onshore/nearshore/offshore deployment possibilities, the diversity of the wave climate at various potential ...

Hurricane surge and inundation in the Bahamas, part 1: Storm surge model
Abstract A storm surge model has been developed as part of a pilot study for The Commonwealth of the Bahamas. The hydrodynamic model, TELEMAC‐2D, is used to simulate the response of water level to tide and the wind and atmospheric pressure fields of hurricanes and subsequent inundation over land.
