Coastlines are constantly threatened by erosion. Effective coastal defense structures with
the least environmental impacts are increasingly required. Submerged and emerged …

Conventionally, allowable mean overtopping discharge is used as a design criterion for
coastal structures. The mean overtopping discharge needs to be limited to ensure structural …

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 …

A better understanding of how tidal-flat reclamation changes the flood hazard is critical for
climate-proofing coastal flood defense design of heavily urbanized areas. Since the 1950s …

Coastal flooding prediction systems can be an efficient risk-reduction instrument. The goal of
this study was to design, build, test, and implement a wave-induced flooding early warning …

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 …

Coastal defence structures are playing a vital role in protecting coastal communities from
extreme climatic conditions and flooding. With climate change and sea-level rise in the next …

Advances in the development of prediction tools for wave overtopping allow now for
overtopping volumes to be estimated with good accuracy, with the combined use of mean …

Understanding the spatial distribution of wave overtopping water behind coastal protection
structures is essential for assessing the safety level of coastal regions behind the coastal …

Terms such as' nature-based','living shoreline','green infrastructure'and'ecological
engineering'are increasingly being used to reflect biomimicry-based engineering measures …
