Rapid Intensification and Relative Sea‐Level Rise Amplify Compound Flooding From Hurricanes Harvey and Beryl

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.

Foredunes in Front of Secondary Dunes Exhibiting Strong Reduction Potential in Storm Wave Settings: A 2D Experimental and Numerical Study

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.

Meta‐Analysis of Industry Incident Reports: Identifying Gaps in Climate‐Related Safety Risks

Safety Science and Technology, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
Climate‐related hazards like floods, storms, and heatwaves are increasing, raising concerns for industrial safety. When such events trigger technological failures (NATECH incidents), consequences can be severe, particularly in chemical and energy sectors. A PRISMA and bowtie‐based meta‐analysis of 50 climate‐linked incidents from the US Chemical Safety

Modeling the Impact of Initiation Parameters on the Dynamics of the 2012 Te Maari Laterally Confined Debris Avalanche

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Volcanic debris avalanches can transform into highly mobile debris flows, reaching long runout distances and posing significant hazards to downstream populations. This high mobility arises from complex, evolving rheological behavior driven by dynamic changes in pore pressure, internal resistance, and material properties during the flow.

Field Observations and Geotechnical Modeling of Dune Face Erosion During a Storm (Narrabeen Beach, Australia)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Quantifying dune face failure during storm wave conditions is critical for improving the predictive capability of coastal erosion models. However, most high‐resolution dune erosion observations used to validate these models were obtained from reduced‐scale laboratory experiments, raising questions about their applicability to field‐scale dunes.

Marsh restoration in front of seawalls is an economically justified nature-based solution for coastal protection

Communications Earth & Environment
A marsh-fronted seawall is a hybrid nature-based coastal protection solution because it attenuates wave energy, reduces erosion, and provides ecosystem services. However, we still have a limited understanding of how to quantify the marsh wave attenuation

Efficient data-driven machine learning models for scour depth predictions at sloping sea defences

Frontiers in Built Environment
Seawalls are critical defence infrastructures in coastal zones that protect hinterland areas from storm surges, wave overtopping and soil erosion hazards.

Climate Change Alters Post‐Surge Recovery of Coastal Aquifers

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Climate change is expected to increase storm‐surge intensity while reducing its frequency, posing complex challenges for the recovery of coastal aquifers subject to recurrent wave overwash events. This study quantifies the combined effects of these opposing trends using surface–subsurface integrated numerical simulations of a generalized ...
