This study presents new experiments and analysis to evaluate the performance of
overtopping models for fringing reef fronted beaches. Physical experiments were conducted …

Waves propagating on sandy beaches are naturally affected by tides. A better
understanding of tide-modulated wave characteristics and breaking regimes in the intertidal …

An extensive new set of laboratory measurements have been performed with random and
monochromatic waves to study runup on fringing reef-fronted beaches. The experiments …

Tsunami waves pose a threat to coastal communities through overland inundation and
overtopping of coastal defence structures and river walls. Tsunami wave overtopping in …

This thesis investigates runup, overtopping, and sediment transport dynamics on reef-
fronted shores. Fringing reefs alter wave spectra, resulting in distinctive bimodal wave …

Tsunami run-up, inundation, and overtopping are three important factors in the design of
coastal protection structures and other infrastructure in many regions, as the elevation of the …
