Wave breaking on the steep fore‐reef slopes of shallow fringing reefs can be effective at
dissipating incident sea‐swell waves prior to reaching reef shorelines. However, wave setup …

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

Water quality prediction, a well-established field with broad implications across various
sectors, is thoroughly examined in this comprehensive review. Through an exhaustive …

An extensive new set of laboratory measurements have been performed with random and
monochromatic waves to study runup on fringing reef-fronted beaches. The experiments …

American Samoa is experiencing rapid relative sea level rise due to increases in global sea
level and significant post-2009 earthquake land subsidence, endangering homes and …

Atoll nations such as Tuvalu are considered to be amongst those most vulnerable to the
effects of climate change. Here we present a national‐scale coastal flood hazard …

Fast and accurate estimation of wave runup is needed for low-altitude coral-reef islands, but
most of the existing formulae are not applicable in this context. Tree-based models were …

We applied machine learning to improve the accuracy of present predictors of wave setup.
Namely, we used an evolutionary-based genetic programming model and a previously …

Abstract Low-lying, tropical, coral-reef-lined coastlines are becoming increasingly
vulnerable to wave-driven flooding due to population growth, coral reef degradation, and …

Coral reefs are effective natural flood barriers that protect adjacent coastal communities. As
the need to adapt to rising sea levels, storms, and environmental changes increases, reef …
