Laboratory physical models are a valuable tool for coastal engineers. Physical models help us to understand the complex hydrodynamic processes occurring in the nearshore zone and …
The landscapes and seascapes of Earth's surface provide the theatre for life, but to what extent did the actors build the stage? The role of life in the long-term shaping of the …
This book discusses coastal defense measures, which have not improved in the past few decades, and better alternatives. It emphasizes on the existence of stable bays in coastal …
Crenulate-shaped bays are common features found all around the world. The most widely used formulation for representing this kind of bay is the parabolic approach proposed by …
In an attempt to reduce beach erosion and wave impact on a protective seawall, an experimental proprietary submerged breakwater (Reef) of 1,260 m length was installed in a …

Five different coastal area morphodynamic models have been set up to run on the same offshore breakwater layout and an intercomparison carried out on the hydrodynamic and …
The effect of manmade activities is primarily local but can extend far away from the location of intervention. This underlines the importance of establishing coastal zone management …
A systematic experimental investigation on the effect of different spacing between an array of oscillating water column (OWC) devices integrated with offshore detached breakwater …
