Coral reef islands are low-lying, wave-deposited sedimentary landforms. Using an eco-
morphodynamic framework, this review examines the sensitivity of islands to climatic and …

A numerical model, XBeach, calibrated and validated on field data collected at Roi‐Namur
Island on Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of Marshall Islands, was used to examine the …

Low-lying small island states whose existence is a product of sediment production from their
surrounding reefs are highly vulnerable landscapes to climate change. This vulnerability …

Low-frequency (infragravity) wave dynamics on a fringing coral reef were investigated using
the numerical model XBeach (Roelvink et al., 2009). First, the skill of the model was …

We examined the role of wave‐driven circulation relative to wind and buoyancy forcing in a
coral reef‐lagoon system. Circulation measurements in Paopao Bay, Moorea, French …

Ocean acidification leads to changes in marine carbonate chemistry that are predicted to
cause a decline in future coral reef calcification. Several laboratory and mesocosm …

The response of the circulation of a coral reef system in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, to incident
wave forcing was investigated using field data collected during a 10-month experiment …

Measurements obtained across a shore‐attached, fringing reef on the southeast coast of the
island of Guam are examined to determine the relationship between incident waves and …

To better understand wave transformation process and the associated hydrodynamic
characteristics over fringing coral reefs, we present a numerical study, which is based on …

The influence of sea swell (SS) waves, infragravity (IG) waves, and wave setup on maximum
runup (Rmax) is investigated across different tidal stages on Fatato Island, Funafuti Atoll …
