Some considerations on coastal processes relevant to sea level rise [PDF]
, 1987 The effects of potential sea level rise on the shoreline and shore environment have been briefly examined by considering the interactions between sea level rise and relevant coastal processes.

CONTRIBUTION OF MOMENTUM IN TSUNAMI LOADING ON A VERTICAL SEAWALL
Coastal Engineering ProceedingsTsunami are often very long wavelength, long period gravity waves generated in deep water. Some of the largest and most damaging tsunami are associated with subduction zone ocean trenches and their related convergent plate boundaries such as the Aleutian Islands (1946), Chile (1960), Indian Ocean (2004) and Tohoku (2011) events.

Field study of post-overtopping flow impacts on a vertical wall at the crest of an upper-beach dike
Applied Ocean ResearchIn many urbanized shorelines, upper-beach sea-defenses and coastal buildings can be exposed to the impact of wave induced post-overtopping flow during energetic storm conditions.

The Force of a Tsunami on a Wave Energy Converter [PDF]
, 2012 With an increasing emphasis on renewable energy resources, wave power technology is fast becoming a realistic solution. However, the recent tsunami in Japan was a harsh reminder of the ferocity of the ocean.

VERTICAL SEA WALL CREST MODIFICATIONS FOR OVERTOPPING
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018 Crest modifications such as a storm wall, parapet or a bullnose are widely used to reduce the wave overtopping over coastal structures where spatial and visual demands restrict the crest heights, especially in urban areas. Although reduction factors of these modifications have been studied for sloped structures in EurOtop Manual (2016), there is ...

COHERENCE OF WAVE IMPACT INDUCED PRESSURES ON A VERTICAL SEAWALL
Coastal Engineering ProceedingsShort in duration and high in magnitude pressure pulses are induced by waves impacting on vertical structures like seawalls. Previously, seminal research projects like PROVERBS and VOWS have highlighted the importance of such impulsive pressures in the design of coastal defenses.
