Numerical Simulation of Dam Breach with XBeach

, 2022
A dam breach is defined as the uncontrolled release of material retained in the impoundment. The resulting flow of water, or mine waste can be catastrophic to the environment, local infrastructure, and human life.

Application of XBeach to model a storm response on a sandy spit at the southern Baltic

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2015
Abstract The process-based XBeach model has been used to simulate changes in beach and dune morphology in terms of influence of the significant storm event on the sandy Dziwnow Spit, located in the western part of the Polish coast. The research was carried out as part of the SatBałtyk project and represents the first stage of XBeach ...

Coral Reef Protection May Help Avert Risks to People, Property, and Economic Activity Caused by Projected Reef Degradation

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Degradation of coral reefs over the past several decades has caused regional‐scale erosion of the shallow seafloor that serves as a protective barrier against coastal hazards along southeast Florida, USA. How future change in coral reefs may affect coastal flooding, however, has been less attended than other factors contributing to increasing ...

Rapid simulation of wave runup on morphologically diverse, reef-lined coasts with the BEWARE-2 (Broad-range Estimator of Wave Attack in Reef Environments) meta-process model [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Low-lying, tropical, coral-reef-lined coastlines are becoming increasingly vulnerable to wave-driven flooding due to population growth, coral reef degradation, and sea-level rise.

Assessing the Port Footprint on Coastal Flood and Erosion Risks

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Ports are often perceived as sources of disruption to coastal environments, contributing to sediment imbalance, shoreline erosion and ecosystem service loss. However, this framing overlooks the broader, system‐scale influence that ports can exert on coastal dynamism and flood risk.

Modeling the Influence of Grounded Landfast Ice on Nearshore Sediment Transport

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Grounded landfast ice is common along mid to high latitude coasts in the northern hemisphere, but its geomorphic impact is poorly understood due to a lack of targeted studies and conflicting observations of ice as both a protective and erosive feature.

Storm-Induced Evolution on an Artificial Pocket Gravel Beach: A Numerical Study with XBeach-Gravel

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Coarse-grained beaches consisting of gravel, pebbles, and cobbles play a crucial role in coastal protection. On the Croatian Adriatic coast, there are artificial gravel pocket beaches created for recreational and protective purposes.

Geotechnical Stability Analysis of Dune Face Erosion by Waves

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Predicting the extent of wave‐driven dune erosion under wave impact and elevated water levels will improve our ability to safeguard the livelihood of ecosystems, communities and infrastructure living behind sandy beaches worldwide. However, the geophysical processes leading to time‐dependent dune face failures are still not fully understood ...
