Cost-effective coastal flood adaptation requires a realistic valuation of losses, costs and
benefits considering the uncertainty of future flood projections and limited resources for …

Predictions of total water levels, the elevation of combined tides, surge, and wave runup at
the shoreline, are necessary to provide guidance on potential coastal erosion and flooding …

National weather forecasting agencies routinely issue a range of hazard warnings. But to
our knowledge, along sandy coastlines where storm waves and storm surge can result in …

The accurate prediction of storm-driven coastal erosion along sandy coastlines is
fundamental to addressing coastal hazards now and into the future. Here, four storm erosion …

Embryonic dunes, continuous dunes and classical beach nourishment are tested as soft
coastal protection measures in the vulnerable Trabucador barrier beach located in the NW …

Creating ecosystem buffers in intertidal zones, such as seagrass meadows, has gained
increasing attention as a nature-based solution for mitigating storm-driven coastal erosion …

Coastal flooding and eros-ion caused by extreme events are the main factors responsible for
beach hazards. This effect will be exacerbated by the sea level rise induced by climate …

Numerical simulations of a range of wave climates and tide conditions made with the model
XBeach are exploited to study propagation, evolution, dissipation, and reflection patterns of …

At the interface between land and sea, the shoreface of sandy coasts extends from the dune
(up to tens of meters above the sea level) to below the depth of the closure (often tens of …

The shoreline and beach profile vary due to various factors like rising sea levels, changes in
wave characteristics and littoral drift due to the presence of coastal structures. These coastal …
