Experimental Evidence of the Influence of Recurves on Wave Loads at Vertical Seawalls [PDF]

open access: yesWater, 2020
The role of recurves on top of seawalls in reducing overtopping has been previously shown but their influence in the distribution and magnitude of wave-induced pressures and forces on the seawall remains largely unexplored. This paper deals with the effects of different recurve geometries on the loads acting on the vertical wall.

Barrier island erosion and overwash study -- effect of seawalls. Volume 2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
This is the second of a pair of reports documenting the effects of storms on beach systems including the presence of seawalls. With the aim of simulating the effects of overwash on barrier islands with seawalls and characterizing their response, a ...

Automated Feature Extraction and Classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets in the Puck Lagoon via Multisensor Remote Sensing

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a strong framework for the detection and classification of Submerged Cultural Heritage Assets (SCHA) in shallow marine environments using the integration of multibeam echosounder and airborne LiDAR bathymetry with object‐based image analysis and fuzzy logic–based classification.

Wave overtopping and toe scouring at a plain vertical seawall with shingle foreshore : a physical model study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This paper describes a physical model study to investigate the wave overtopping and toe scouring at a plain vertical wall with a shingle foreshore. A matrix of 180 experimental test conditions were performed in a 2D wave flume, with an approximate scale ...

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

THE URBAN METABOLISM OF FLOOD PROTECTION INFRASTRUCTURE IN JAKARTA, INDONESIA

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Investments in large‐scale climate infrastructures are central to emerging forms of climate urbanism. In Jakarta, flood protection infrastructures seek to protect the city from devastating flood events in anticipation of future catastrophes.

Effects of seawalls on the adjacent beach [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
This study was carried out to examine the effects of seawalls on the adjacent beach by three dimensional model test. The results obtained from model test were analyzed in terms of volumetric changes and shoreline and hydrographic change to quantify ...

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

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
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 ...

The impacts of coastal protection structures in California’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This report outlines the potential impacts of coastal protection structures on the resources of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. At least 15 miles of the Sanctuary’s 300-mile shoreline are currently armored with seawalls and riprap revetments.

Analysis of Turbulent Modeling for Free‐Surface Flows Using a Hybrid RANS‐LES Model and Particle‐Based Moving Particle Semi‐Implicit Method

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Volume 98, Issue 3, Page 321-347, March 2026.
A hybrid RANS‐LES turbulence model adapted for the Moving Particle Semi‐implicit method is employed to investigate a turbulent free surface flow. A method based on the cell‐linked list is proposed to speed up the nearest wall search for the turbulence model.
