Infragravity waves: From driving mechanisms to impacts
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 …

Wind-wave climate changes and their impacts
Wind-waves have an important role in Earth system dynamics through air–sea interactions
and are key drivers of coastal and offshore hydro-morphodynamics that affect communities …

Increased winter‐mean wave height, variability, and periodicity in the Northeast Atlantic over 1949–2017
Abstract A 69‐year (1948–2017) numerical weather and wave hindcast is used to
investigate the interannual variability and trend of winter wave height along the west coast of …

Global-scale changes to extreme ocean wave events due to anthropogenic warming
Extreme surface ocean waves are often primary drivers of coastal flooding and erosion over
various time scales. Hence, understanding future changes in extreme wave events owing to …

Three years of weekly observations of coastal cliff erosion by waves and rainfall
Abstract Erosion of a 2.5 km-long sedimentary coastal cliff by waves and rainfall is explored
with three years of weekly observations. A truck-mounted lidar resolved the fronting beach …

Systematic review shows that work done by storm waves can be misinterpreted as tsunami-related because commonly used hydrodynamic equations are flawed
Coastal boulder deposits (CBD), transported by waves at elevations above sea level and
substantial distances inland, are markers for marine incursions. Whether they are tsunami or …
