Assessment of climate change impacts on wind characteristics is crucial for the design,
operation, and maintenance of coastal and offshore infrastructures. In the present study, the …

In the context of “green” approaches to coastal engineering, the term “eco-engineering” has
emerged in recent years to describe the incorporation of ecological concepts (including …

Coastal defence structures are playing a vital role in protecting coastal communities from
extreme climatic conditions and flooding. With climate change and sea-level rise in the next …

Advances in the development of prediction tools for wave overtopping allow now for
overtopping volumes to be estimated with good accuracy, with the combined use of mean …

Understanding the spatial distribution of wave overtopping water behind coastal protection
structures is essential for assessing the safety level of coastal regions behind the coastal …

Terms such as' nature-based','living shoreline','green infrastructure'and'ecological
engineering'are increasingly being used to reflect biomimicry-based engineering measures …

This study investigates the variation of wave impact loads with the geometrical
configurations of recurve retrofits mounted on the crest of a vertical seawall. Physical model …

Ghana is witnessing an increase in the construction of coastal flood defence walls on its
coast but the effects of the coastal defence on people have not been well documented. This …

Recent climate change studies highlight that the sea-level rise and increase in intensity and
frequency of extreme climatic events and storm surges will result in catastrophic wave …

The assessment of coastal defences requires reliable prediction of mean overtopping
discharges and acceptable overtopping rates for defined design conditions, an process of …
