Coastal erosion is a normal process of nature. However, the rate of coastal erosion, and the
frequency and intensity of coastal flooding events, are now on the rise around the world due …

The Special Observation Period (SOP1), part of the HyMeX campaign (Hydrological cycle in
the Mediterranean Experiments, 5 September–6 November 2012), was dedicated to heavy …

Wave forecasting may represent a useful tool for safety assessment of maritime works and
activities. To date, wave forecasting uncertainty is usually corrected by using either the mean …

The study investigates extreme value analysis of wave climate around the Farasan islands'
protected coastal zone in the southern Red Sea. It provides an overall idea of the extreme …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea, despite its relatively low wave energy resources and high
water depths, presents a potential opportunity for wave energy conversion projects. This …

European coasts are increasingly threatened by hazards related to low-probability and high-
impact hydro-meteorological events. Uncertainties in hazard prediction and capabilities to …

In this study, we present the inter-comparison of regional SWAN hindcasts using boundary
conditions (BC) from the third generation wave models WAM and WWIII implemented …

Abstract Knowledge of the state of the sea is crucial for the development of economic,
military and tourist activities. Furthermore, adequate management of extreme high-energy …

Geomorphological features and sparse visual wave measurements, presented in previous
works, point out to the possible existence of alongshore wave energy gradients over the …

High-resolution numerical models can be effective in monitoring and predicting natural
hazards, especially when dealing with Mediterranean atmospheric and marine …
