Accurate prediction of wave overtopping at sea defences remains central to the protection of
lives, livelihoods, and infrastructural assets in coastal zones. In addressing the increased …

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 …

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 …

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 …

This study investigates the variation of wave impact loads with the geometrical
configurations of recurve retrofits mounted on the crest of a vertical seawall. Physical model …

Despite recent research efforts in advancing machine learning (ML) tools to predict
nearshore characteristics at sea defences, less attention has been paid to ML algorithms in …

Recent climate change studies highlight that the sea-level rise and increase in intensity and
frequency of extreme climatic events and storm surges will result in catastrophic wave …

Maximum wave overtopping volumes on sea defences are an indicator for identifying risks to
people and properties from wave hazards. The probability distribution of individual …
