Irregular Wave Overtopping Rates
Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984 Methods for estimating wave overtopping of coastal structures are reviewed and compared with the very limited available data and with each other. The different methods yield results which can vary more than an order-of-magnitude. For vertical seawalls, the U. S.

Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringWave overtopping is one of the most complex coastal hazards to characterize in field conditions due to its high non-linearity and the interaction between unsteady hydrodynamics and wave–structure processes.

Shuili Shuiyun Gongcheng Xuebao, 2019 The wave overflow is a phenomenon that the water level caused by strong storm surge in front of the seawall exceeds the top of the seawall and the seawall is subjected to the combined action of the overtopping and overflow.

Spatial distribution of regular wave overtopping on landscape revetment during typhoon landfalls
Applied Ocean ResearchTyphoons raise nearshore water levels and generate large waves, posing significant wave overtopping risks to low-crested revetments designed with hydrophilic considerations.

Alluvial ridge morphology on avulsing rivers
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Alluvial ridges are built by preferential channel‐belt deposition and control river avulsions, yet a systematic analysis of their morphology has been missing. To address this gap, we analyse a globally distributed dataset of 8970 alluvial ridge flanks on 14 different rivers.

Single Slope Shore Protection as a Wave Energy Catcher
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Wave energy is being increasingly regarded in many countries as a major, promising and renewable resource. This paper presents the development of slope coastal protection as a wave energy converter by capturing sea water into the reservoir through ...

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Irregular Wave Overtopping of Seawalls [PDF]
OCEANS '86, 1986 This paper discusses recent laboratory tests of irregular wave overtopping of coastal structures being conducted at the Coastal Engineering Research Center (CERC). Current model tests of seawalls has led to an improved method for predicting wave overtopping rates.
