In the context of “green” approaches to coastal engineering, the term “eco-engineering” has
emerged in recent years to describe the incorporation of ecological concepts (including …

Seawalls are critical defence infrastructures in coastal zones that protect hinterland areas
from storm surges, wave overtopping and soil erosion hazards. Scouring at the toe of sea …

This study investigates the variation of wave impact loads with the geometrical
configurations of recurve retrofits mounted on the crest of a vertical seawall. Physical model …

Despite recent research efforts in advancing machine learning (ML) tools to predict
nearshore characteristics at sea defences, less attention has been paid to ML algorithms in …

Recent climate change studies highlight that the sea-level rise and increase in intensity and
frequency of extreme climatic events and storm surges will result in catastrophic wave …

Maximum wave overtopping volumes on sea defences are an indicator for identifying risks to
people and properties from wave hazards. The probability distribution of individual …

Anchored Large Woody Debris (LWD) is increasingly being used as one of several nature-
based coastal protection strategies along the north-western coasts of Canada and the US …

Purpose The ineffectiveness of flood control in climate-impacted majority-world cities like
Jakarta highlights the need for policies that integrate local knowledge and embrace water …

Increased intensity of extreme climatic events and natural hazards, combined with sea level
rise due to global warming, has increased the vulnerability of nearshore and coastal regions …

The present study reports on a series of laboratory experiments aiming to understand and to
optimize the deployment of seawall defences over low-lying coral reef flats. The study is …
