Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract When severe floods struck southeastern Bangladesh in August 2024, competing explanations emerged. Meteorological analysis revealed that extreme precipitation was exacerbated by the Madden‐Julian Oscillation and jet stream dynamics. However, alternative narratives proliferated on social media, particularly claims that India deliberately ...

Predicting wave overtopping thresholds on coral reef-island shorelines with future sea-level rise [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 AbstractWave-driven flooding is a serious hazard on coral reef-fringed coastlines that will be exacerbated by global sea-level rise. Despite the global awareness of atoll island vulnerability, little is known about the physical processes that control wave induced flooding on reef environments.

On the tuning of a wave-energy driven oscillating-water-column seawater pump to polychromatic waves
, 2007 Performance of wave-energy devices of the oscillating water column (OWC) type is greatly enhanced when a resonant condition with the forcing waves is maintained.

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 1019-1049, 25 April 2026.ABSTRACT This paper advances the integration of risk‐informed principles into the seismic design of dams—a domain long guided by standards‐based, largely deterministic approaches. While performance‐based earthquake engineering is well established for buildings and bridges, its systematic adoption in dam engineering remains limited. We first address two

Development of a composite sea wall wave energy converter system [PDF]
, 2015 The cost-effective utilization of wave energy is still a major engineering challenge. Shoreline locations for Wave Energy Converters (WECs) offer lower wave energy densities when compared with offshore locations, but give significant advantages from ...

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 ...

Prediction of Overtopping Rates for Irregular Waves on Riprap Revetments [PDF]
, 1992 Abstract : Present methods of predicting wave overtopping on revetments are limited, and determining what data are available requires extensive interpolation and/or extrapolation of monochromatic wave conditions. Physical model tests were conducted to measure wave overtopping rates occurring on a 1:2 and 1:3.5 stone revetment slope.
