Over the past decades, the scientific community has made significant efforts to simulate
flooding conditions using a variety of complex physically based models. Despite all …

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 …

Random waves are the most important constituent of the sea environment, as they make the
design of maritime structures quite different from that of structures on land. In this book, the …

Surface gravity waves generated by winds are ubiquitous on our oceans and play a
primordial role in the dynamics of the ocean–land–atmosphere interfaces. In particular, wind …

Wave runup is one of the most critical parameters contributing to coastline flooding and
shoreline change. Many formulas have been developed to empirically predict wave runup …

A critical review is presented on the state of knowledge and calculation capability for coastal
overwash. Overwash and overwash deposits (washover) accompanying hurricanes and …

This paper re-examines existing wave run-up data for regular, irregular and solitary waves
on smooth, impermeable plane slopes. A simple physical argument is used to derive a new …

Hindcast and 21st century winds, simulated by General Circulation Models (GCMs), were
used to drive global-and regional-scale spectral wind-wave generation models in the Pacific …

The lack of a continental shelf in steep volcanic islands leads to significant changes in
tropical cyclone inundation potential, with wave setup and runup increasing in importance …

This paper assesses the accuracy of 11 existing runup models against field data collected
under moderate wave conditions from 11 non-truncated beaches in New South Wales and …
