Current study presents state-of-the-art approach for evaluating spatiotemporal multivariate
environmental risks, especially suitable for complex environmental systems that have been …

Recently, offshore renewable energy has received significant attentions from most oceanic
countries. Its multiple disciplinary nature appears as a hot research spot. Among those …

The formation of abnormal (extreme) waves in coastal areas can be triggered by wave–
seabed interaction, in particular by steep bottom changes. As an incident equilibrium sea …

In the 1990s, oceanographers realized that the freak waves posed realistic threats to
offshore and marine engineering. Since then, tremendous efforts from both academia and …

Rogue waves are anomalously high waves that may suddenly form on the sea surface. At
the dawn of the 21st century, they attracted the interest of researchers, from oceanographers …

Abrupt depth transitions (ADTs) have recently been identified as potential causes of
'rogue'ocean waves. When stationary and (close-to-) normally distributed waves travel into …

This paper develops second-order theory for narrow-banded surface gravity wavepackets
experiencing a sudden depth transition based on a Stokes and multiple-scales expansion …

Non-equilibrium evolution of wave fields, as occurring over sudden bathymetry variations,
can produce rogue seas with anomalous wave statistics. We handle this process by …

We present experimental results of irregular long-crested waves propagating over a
submerged trapezoidal bar with the presence of a background current in a wave flume. We …

Surface gravity wavepackets in intermediate water depth experiencing an abrupt depth
decrease are investigated experimentally. The experiments provide validation for the …
