    • A review of potential physical impacts on harbours in the Mediterranean Sea under climate change 

      Sánchez-Arcilla Conejo, Agustín; Sierra Pedrico, Juan Pablo; Brown, Sally; Casas-Prat, Mercè; Nicholls, Robert J.; Lionello, Piero; Conte, Dario (2016-12)
      Article
      Open Access
      The potential impact of climate change on port operations and infrastructures has received much less attention than the corresponding impact for beach systems. However, ports have always been vulnerable to weather extremes ...

    • Impact of climate change on wave energy resource in the Mediterranean coast of Morocco 

      Sierra Pedrico, Juan Pablo; Castrillo, Ricard; Mestres Ridge, Marc; Mösso Aranda, César; Lionello, Piero; Marzo, Luigi (2020-06)
      Article
      Open Access
      The increasing demand for energy and the impacts generated by CO2 emissions make it necessary to harness all possible renewable sources of energy, like wave power. Nevertheless, climate change may generate significant ...

    • Modelling of future extreme storm surges at the NW Mediterranean coast (Spain) 

      Lin Ye, Jue; García León, Manuel; Gracia García, Vicente; Ortego Martínez, María Isabel; Lionello, Piero; Conte, Dario; Pérez Gómez, Begoña; Sánchez-Arcilla Conejo, Agustín (2020-02)
      Article
      Open Access
      Storm surges are one of the main drivers for extreme flooding at the coastal areas. Such events can be characterized with the maximum level in an extreme storm surge event (surge peak), as well as the duration of the event. ...

    • Modelling the impact of climate change on harbour operability: the Barcelona port case study 

      Sierra Pedrico, Juan Pablo; Lionello, Piero; Mestres Ridge, Marc; Mösso Aranda, César; Marzo, L.; Genius, A. (2017-09)
      Article
      Open Access
      Harbours are essential infrastructures for economic activity that are susceptible to impacts from climate change driven processes, like sea level rise (SLR), or alterations in wave patterns. In this paper, the impact of ...

    • Multivariate statistical modelling of future marine storms 

      Lin Ye, Jue; García León, Manuel; Gracia García, Vicente; Ortego Martínez, María Isabel; Lionello, Piero; Sánchez-Arcilla Conejo, Agustín (2017-04)
      Article
      Open Access
      Extreme events, such as wave-storms, need to be characterized for coastal infrastructure design purposes. Such description should contain information on both the univariate behaviour and the joint-dependence of storm-variables. ...
