Worldwide, climate change adaptation in coastal areas is a growing challenge. The most
common solutions such as seawalls and breakwaters are expensive and often lead to …

Coastal dunes can act as a method of soft coastal protection against inundation and direct
impact of waves during storms if they are substantially large enough in volume to withstand …

Uncertainty in the behaviour of future storm events and extreme water levels means that the
introduction of Early Warning Systems for coastal inundation risk at vulnerable local sites …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the temporal and spatial performance of the
XBeach model predicting storm surge-induced erosion and breaching on the basis of a two …

A new set of laboratory data is used to investigate the bathymetry change of a steep sand
dune exposed to waves and high water levels, and subsequently compared to the results of …

Idealized computational simulations with the nearshore model XBeach were carried out for a
series of barred beach configurations in order to quantify the impact of nearshore bars on …

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

This paper presents and validates a novel root model which accounts for the effect of
belowground biomass on dune erosion volumes in XBeach, based on a small-scale wave …
