The influence of ex‐tropical cyclones on marine terrace retreat

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ex‐tropical cyclones can damage the integrity of marine terrace structures and contribute to erosion, but they are sometimes too infrequent to explain the longer term erosion rates of coastlines. Abstract High magnitude events, like Ex‐Tropical Cyclones, are likely to change in their trajectory, magnitude, and frequency under future climate change ...

Numerical Investigation of Wave Overtopping in Impermeable Seawalls Coated with Sand-Based Porous Media [PDF]

Numerical Methods in Civil Engineering
A seawall's structural integrity can be damaged by wave overtopping. To mitigate wave overtopping, this study investigates the effectiveness of incorporating a porous layer into impermeable seawalls.

Autogenic Shoreline Migration and Its Effect on the Storage of Carbon in Marginal Marine Successions

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The accumulation of organic matter (OM) near shorelines, known as blue carbon, is a key sink in the global carbon cycle. This accumulation is influenced by elevation relative to sea level of the delta‐top, which changes through the movement of shorelines with time.

Exploring the Role of Strategic Place‐Based Risk Assessment as a Framework to Support System‐Based Climate Adaptation Planning

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Climate change adaptation requires more place‐based evidence to understand the context of historic, present and future vulnerability and how this translates to local patterns of risk. This study illustrates a globally relevant framework focused on multiple and often interconnected climate risks in a major coastal lowland, the Fens region, UK ...

Admissible post-wave overtopping flow for persons on a horizontal surface

Journal of Coastal and Hydraulic Structures, 2021
Admissible wave overtopping is a key parameter in design specifications and also in safety assessments of the crest level of many coastal structures. This paper considers the hazard to people/pedestrians by post-wave overtopping flow over a horizontal ...

The Decline of a Caldera‐Filling Glacier at Volcán Sollipulli, Chile

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Southern Andean glaciers have undergone fast retreat in recent decades. This results in reduced freshwater storage, contribution to sea‐level rise, and locally to the formation of glacial lakes, that may pose the risk of glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs).

Wave overtopping at rubble mound breakwaters with a non-reshaping berm

, 2012
Wave overtopping was investigated by means of a physical model. The breakwater scale model was divided into 8 collection bins. Overtopped volumes were collected and pumped into floating tanks further down the flume.

Expected Discharge of Irregular Wave Overtopping

Coastal Engineering 1968, 1968
An experiment was carried out on the overtopping of mechanically generated irregular waves over vertical walls. The experimental discharge was almost in agreement with the expected discharge which had been calculated with the wave height histogram and the data of regular wave overtopping based on the principle of linear summation.

A Framework for Modeling Tropical Cyclone‐Induced Compound Flooding of the Continental US: Demonstrated in New Orleans

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Compound flooding involves the interaction of multiple flood processes (e.g., coastal, fluvial, and pluvial) and is modulated by several factors (e.g., weather, climate, topobathy, morphology, time‐lag). In tropical and subtropical regions globally, Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are a primary cause of compound flooding as they generate substantial ...
