Coastal communities in tropical environments are at increasing risk from both environmental
degradation and climate change and require urgent local adaptation action. Evidences …

Many low‐lying tropical islands are susceptible to sea level rise and often subjected to
overwash and flooding during large wave events. To quantify wave dynamics and wave …

Super typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines on 8 November 2013, marking one of the
strongest typhoons at landfall in recorded history. Extreme storm waves attacked the Pacific …

Wave‐driven extreme water levels are examined for coastlines protected by fringing reefs
using field observations obtained in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The 2 …

To provide coastal engineers and scientists with a quantitative evaluation of nearshore
numerical wave models in reef environments, we review and compare three commonly used …

Time series of storm wave runup and overtopping observed on a sandy beach with a
scanning LiDAR are compared with predictions of the phase-resolving numerical model …

The importance of explicitly modelling sea-swell waves for runup was examined using a 2D
XBeach short wave-averaged (surfbeat,“XB-SB”) and a wave-resolving (non-hydrostatic,“XB …

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the SWASH model to reproduce wave
setup and runup in highly dissipative stormy conditions. To proceed we use data collected …

As the biomass of pelagic Sargassum spp. increased across the North Atlantic equatorial
recirculation region from 2011 onwards, massive rafts of sargasso appeared in the Western …

Long waves are amplified as short-wave groups shoal and break over reefs, therefore,
having significant impacts on coastal inundation, structure stability, and sediment transport …
