Bayesian Analysis of Infragravity Edge Waves
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Infragravity (IG) waves (periods nominally 25–250 s) are generated in shallow water by nonlinear difference‐frequency interactions between shorter period (nominally 4–25 s) incident sea‐swell waves. Previous studies show strong IG reflection from the beach face and detectable IG energy in alongshore‐propagating edge waves.

Direct Policy Search for a Risk‐Based Levee Design Framework With Scenario Reduction
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Risk‐based management of coastal flood risk using realistic, process‐based models poses computational challenges, particularly when addressing uncertainties like sea‐level rise. This study explores the use of direct policy search (DPS) as a state‐dependent, adaptive decision‐making approach for upgrading levee systems.

Wave overtopping at vertical structures: Comparison of different formulas
, 2020 Wave overtopping is considered an important aspect when designing waterfront or sea-defense structures, making it a part of any design to predict the overtopping rate.

Reduction of Wave Overtopping and Force Impact at Harbor Quays Due to Very Oblique Waves
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Physical model experiments were conducted in a wave tank at Flanders Hydraulics Research, Antwerp, Belgium, to characterize the wave overtopping and impact force on vertical quay walls and sloping sea dike (1:2.5) under very oblique wave attack (angle ...

Impact of an extreme storm event on a multiple intertidal barred coastal system
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.Extreme storms do not necessarily cause extreme coastal erosion. Integrated DGPS surveys and SWAN nearshore wave modelling reveal that Storm Barra's peak coincided with a low‐tide stage, allowing multiple intertidal bars (MITBs) to dissipate incoming wave energy before it reached Dundrum Bay's shoreline, highlighting the combined role of tidal stage ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 873-887, August 2026.ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Beach stratigraphy at North Beach, Sandy Hook, New Jersey is used to calibrate a model of coastal erosion, establish a model‐based erosion threshold, and evaluate how often threshold conditions have been exceeded since 1979 through hindcast analysis.

COMPARISON OF NUMERICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS FOR OVERTOPPING DISCHARGE OF THE OBREC WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER [PDF]
Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2017 OBREC is the latest innovation of overtopping wave energy converter (WEC) which is coalesced with the rubble mound breakwaters. The acquisition of wave overtopping in a front reservoir and consequently releasing process through turbine is the concept of ...
