Numerical Investigation of Storm Surge Effects on Denitrification in Nearshore Aquifers
Abstract Coastal aquifers are highly dynamic environments, sensitive to both regular hydrodynamic forcing and extreme events. Among these, storm surges can significantly alter subsurface flow by expanding the upper saline plume (USP), modifying residence times, and intensifying mixing between fresh groundwater and seawater.

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

Expected Discharge of Irregular Wave Overtopping
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.

Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

The Global Contribution of Individual Submarine Groundwater Discharge Components to the Ocean
Abstract Saline submarine groundwater discharge (SSGD) contributes to ocean chemistry through water‐rock interactions as seawater circulates in coastal aquifers. Its components, driven by different mechanisms, exhibit varying residence times and degrees of chemical alteration, so constraining solute fluxes requires quantifying each component.

The influence of ex‐tropical cyclones on marine terrace retreat
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 ...

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

EVALUATION OF MEAN WAVE OVERTOPPING AND MAXIMUM INDIVIDUAL WAVE OVERTOPPING ON ROCK REVETMENT
An accurate estimation of wave overtopping discharge on rock revetment is important to protect coastal areas from possible hazards. The mean discharge value is often used in the coastal structural design. However, the anticipated impact of the maximum volume of overtopping by individual waves is expected to be significant in wave overtopping ...

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 ...

Over the past three decades, the development and testing of various overtopping wave energy converters (OWECs) have highlighted the importance of accurate wave run-up and overtopping predictions on those devices. This study systematically reviews the empirical formulas traditionally used for predicting overtopping across different types of breakwaters ...
