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 …

Sea levels are rising, with the highest rates in the tropics, where thousands of low-lying coral
atoll islands are located. Most studies on the resilience of these islands to sea-level rise …

Water waves are increasingly regarded as a promising source for large‐scale energy
applications. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been recognized as one of the …

A numerical model, XBeach, calibrated and validated on field data collected at Roi‐Namur
Island on Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of Marshall Islands, was used to examine the …

Habitats, such as coral reefs, can mitigate increasing flood damages through coastal
protection services. We provide a fine-scale, national valuation of the flood risk reduction …

Storm surges cause coastal inundation due to setup of the water surface resulting from
atmospheric pressure, surface winds and breaking waves. Here we show that during …

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 …

Planning community resilience to sea level rise (SLR) requires information about where,
when, and how SLR hazards will impact the coastal zone. We augment passive flood …

The ability of reefs to protect coastlines from storm-driven flooding hinges on their capacity to
keep pace with sea-level rise. Here, we show how and whether coral restoration could …

Aquatic vegetation in the coastal zone attenuates wave energy and reduces the risk of
coastal hazards, eg, flooding. Besides the attenuation of sea‐swell waves, vegetation may …
