Mechanisms Driving Transport and Accretion of Mud From Channels to Islands in a River‐Dominated Delta

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract River deltas are important landforms because they build coasts. Primary channels divide deltaic land into islands, which must accrete sediment fast enough for deltas to keep pace with sea level rise. Field observations are critical for determining the physical mechanisms that transport sediment between primary channels and islands, but are ...

Understanding Compound Pluvial–Fluvial Flood Hazards Under Climate Change: A Case Study of the Lower Tone River Basin, Japan

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
A hindcast of Typhoon Hagibis inundation in the Lower Tone River Basin demonstrates reasonable consistency with observations. Scenario‐based simulations were performed to quantify flood hazards in this coastal watershed until the end of the twenty‐first century. Agricultural lands, most of which were reclaimed from lakebeds, face a greater flood hazard

Deriving China’s beach slopes at a national scale: An automated and transferable Fourier-based framework using ICESat-2 data

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Beach slope is a fundamental morphometric parameter governing coastal dynamics, wave dissipation, and shoreline stability, and serves as a key basis for coastal hazard prediction, wave runup and overtopping assessment, and the design of coastal ...

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Economic impact of overtopping and adaptation measures in Catalan ports due to sea level rise [PDF]

, 2019
In this paper, the impact of sea level rise (SLR) throughout the 21st century in the overtopping of port breakwaters is analyzed at a regional scale, focusing on the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean).

Water waves overtopping over barriers [PDF]

, 2019
A numerical and experimental analysis of the wave overtopping over emerged and submerged structures, is presented. An original model is used in order to simulate three-dimensional free surface flows.

The impacts of coastal protection structures in California’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary [PDF]

, 2005
This report outlines the potential impacts of coastal protection structures on the resources of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. At least 15 miles of the Sanctuary’s 300-mile shoreline are currently armored with seawalls and riprap revetments.
