WAVE OVERTOPPING AT MALECÃ’N TRADICIONAL, LA HABANA, CUBA [PDF]
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2017 With the aim of redesigning the geometry of the Malecòn, a vertical face seawall protecting the northern waterfront of the city of La Habana, a wide experimental campaign was carried out. The latter was performed in the frame of a collaboration between the Government of the isle of Cuba and the CUGRI consortium, an Italian institution which joins the ...

Challenges and Opportunities for National‐Scale Projections of Future Coastal Landscape Change
Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Local to global scale projections of future coastal landscape change are essential to improve land and resource management decisions that aim to prepare for and reduce risk exposure to impending coastal hazards. However, the availability of actionable knowledge is often limited due to the complexity of drivers of change, their consequences ...

Applied Sciences, 2020 The overtopping phenomenon at the rear side of breakwaters has particular importance in harbor protection. Undoubtedly, this topic needs to be taken even more seriously, considering the sea level rise.

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Rapid intensification (RI) of hurricanes and relative sea‐level rise (RSLR, the combined effect of global sea‐level rise and regional land subsidence) exacerbate compound flood risks by increasing the likelihood of coinciding surge and rainfall extremes. However, their combined influence on flooding remains insufficiently understood.

Laboratory design-studies of the effect of waves on a proposed island site for a combined nuclear power and desalting plant [PDF]
, 1966 There were four major objectives to this investigation: 1) the determination of the degree of stability of the island face when constructed of armor units of various weights; 2) the run-up for a two-dimensional wave system impinging on the island face; 3)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Coastal zones need further investigations of beach dune erosion to improve storm‐surge protection measures in light of climate change. This study presents a hybrid approach investigating the influence of coastal foredunes on storm‐induced secondary dune erosion.

EVALUATION OF MEAN WAVE OVERTOPPING AND MAXIMUM INDIVIDUAL WAVE OVERTOPPING ON ROCK REVETMENT
Jurnal Teknologi (Sciences & Engineering)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 ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Subterranean estuaries (STEs) under high‐energy conditions function as effective biogeochemical reactors, where waterbodies of varying physico‐chemical properties mix. Chemical reactions within the STE modulate the solute composition of groundwater discharging to the sea providing for example nutrients for plankton growth to coastal ecosystems.

Coastal cliff ground motions and response to extreme storm waves [PDF]
, 2015 Coastal cliff erosion from storm waves is observed worldwide, but the processes are notoriously difficult to measure during extreme storm wave conditions when most erosion normally occurs, limiting our understanding of cliff processes.
