The world's coastal zones are experiencing rapid development and an increase in storms
and flooding. These hazards put coastal communities at heightened risk, which may …

A 3 week field study was conducted to investigate the dynamics of low‐frequency
(infragravity) wave motions over a fringing reef at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. Short …

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 present a week of observations of wave dissipation on the south forereef of Palmyra
Atoll. Using wave measurements made in 6.2 m and 11.2 m of water offshore of the surf …

The accurate prediction of extreme wave run-up is important for effective coastal
engineering design and coastal hazard management. While run-up processes on open …

Super typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippines on 8 November 2013, marking one of the
strongest typhoons at landfall in recorded history. Extreme storm waves attacked the Pacific …

To provide coastal engineers and scientists with a quantitative evaluation of nearshore
numerical wave models in reef environments, we review and compare three commonly used …

Field observations from a Guam fringing reef are used to examine the cross‐reef energy
exchange between high‐frequency sea and swell (SS) and low‐frequency infragravity (IG) …

A 2 week field experiment investigated the hydrodynamics of a strongly tidally forced tropical
intertidal reef platform in the Kimberley region of northwestern Australia, where the spring …

Spatial variations of infragravity waves on fringing reefs are studied using a fully nonlinear
Boussinesq equation model FUNWAVE-TVD. The effects of bottom roughness, forereef …
