Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2948-2965, September 2026.ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Wave overtopping on a low-crested seawall under extreme waves [PDF]
Extreme waves in global nearshore regions, frequently accompanied by wave setup, can transform seawalls into low-crested structures. Such events pose threats to coastal infrastructure due to enhanced overtopping and intense hydrodynamic loads imposed on ...

Experimental study on multi-level overtopping wave energy convertor under regular wave conditions
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2018 A multi-level overtopping wave energy converter was designed according to the large tidal range and small wave heights in China. It consists of two reservoirs with sloping walls at different levels.

The Fargo‐Moorhead Diversion: Flood Protection or Sprawl Promotion?
River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 7, Page 1562-1572, September 2026.ABSTRACT Urban growth and development opportunities are needed worldwide, but growth and development must be hazard‐aware and should follow smart‐growth principles. The $2.89 billion Fargo‐Moorhead Area Diversion Project was designed to provide flood protection following damaging floods on the Red River of the North.

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.

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

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.

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 ...
