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 …

The interaction of coral reefs, both chemically and physically, with the surrounding seawater
is governed, at the smallest scales, by turbulence. Here, we review recent progress in …

Many low‐lying tropical islands are susceptible to sea level rise and often subjected to
overwash and flooding during large wave events. To quantify wave dynamics and wave …

Physical experiments on cross-shore profile evolution of the reef-fronted beach are
conducted considering various offshore wave conditions and reef settings. Cross-shore …

230Coral reefs provide critical ecological and geomorphic (eg sediment production for reef-
fronted shoreline maintenance) services, which interact in complex and dynamic ways …

Sediments are ubiquitous on coral reefs. However, studies of reef sediments have largely
focused on isolated reservoirs, or processes, and rarely consider hydrodynamic drivers. We …

This study presents new experiments and analysis to evaluate the performance of
overtop** models for fringing reef fronted beaches. Physical experiments were conducted …

Globally, coral reefs are being transformed by a suite of stressors, the foremost being climate
change. Increasingly, it is expected that these reconfigured reef systems will emerge with …

Long waves are amplified as short-wave groups shoal and break over reefs, therefore,
having significant impacts on coastal inundation, structure stability, and sediment transport …

Atoll reef islands primarily consist of unconsolidated sediment, and their ocean‐facing
shorelines are maintained by sediment produced and transported across their reefs …
