Rip currents are narrow and concentrated seaward-directed flows that extend from close to
the shoreline, through the surf zone, and varying distances beyond. Rip currents are …

Infragravity (hereafter IG) waves are surface ocean waves with frequencies below those of
wind-generated “short waves”(typically below 0.04 Hz). Here we focus on the most common …

The world's coastlines represent a myriad of dynamic and constantly changing
environments. Heavily settled and intensely used areas, they are of enormous importance to …

The use of beach classification models has become widespread in literature in recent years.
Beach classification models that recognise distinct modal beach states in response to …

Outer sand bar dynamics on a high-energy macro-tidal beach were investigated using long-
term (multi-year) field datasets of intertidal morphology and offshore bathymetry. Utilising a …

If wave energy is to become a fully-fledged renewable, its environmental impacts must be
fully understood. The objective of the present work is to examine the impact of a wave farm …

Megarips have long been recognised as an important, yet poorly documented, mechanism
of beach erosion on high-energy embayed beaches. The persistence and cumulative effect …

The possibility of using wave farms for coastal defence warrants investigation because wave
energy is poised to become a major renewable in many countries over the next decades …

This paper concerns experimental measurements of the interaction of a taut moored floating
body, representing a wave energy converter in survivability mode, with extreme waves …

The location of a wave farm and, in particular, its distance to the coast is one of the key
aspects in a wave energy project. The effects of the farm on the coast, which can be …
