Tidal marshes and mangroves are increasingly valued for nature-based mitigation of coastal
storm impacts, such as flooding and shoreline erosion hazards, which are growing due to …

This review focuses on recent advances in process-based numerical models of the impact of
extreme storms on sandy coasts. Driven by larger-scale models of meteorology and …

Exposure to coastal flooding is increasing due to growing population and economic activity.
These developments go hand-in-hand with a loss and deterioration of ecosystems …

Interest in the role that ecosystems play in reducing the impacts of coastal hazards has
grown dramatically. Yet the magnitude and nature of their effects are highly context …

Worldwide, climate change adaptation in coastal areas is a growing challenge. The most
common solutions such as seawalls and breakwaters are expensive and often lead to …

Coastal vegetation serves as an effective nature-based solution for protecting shorelines
from erosion and storm surges. A detailed understanding of the dynamic interactions …

A new wave-vegetation model is implemented in an open-source code, SWASH (Simulating
WAves till SHore). The governing equations are the nonlinear shallow water equations …

Green infrastructure, utilizing coastal ecosystems, provides a nature-based solution to
counteract coastal hazards and rising sea level. Coastal forests, a major type of green …

The high water level and extreme waves that occur during a storm may threaten coastal
landscapes, including densely populated zones that may also suffer from erosion …

Coastal managers worldwide increasingly recognize the importance of conservation and
restoration of natural coastal ecosystems. This ensures coastal resilience and provision of …
