Differences in assigning probabilities to coastal inundation hazard estimators: event versus response approaches
(2020-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCoastal flood risk assessment requires a reliable estimation of the frequency of inundation hazards, that is, characterising the hazard magnitude and assigning a probability of occurrence. In this work we analyse the ... -
Beach profile evolution towards equilibrium from varying initial morphologies
(2019-11)
Article
Open AccessThe evolution of different initial beach profiles towards the same final beach configuration is investigated based on large-scale experimental data. The same wave condition was performed three times, each time starting ... -
Composite methodology to prevent ship propeller erosion
(2019-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe jet flow generated by manoeuvring ships nearby vertical structures is known to erode the seabed sediment but is still difficult to predict the effects of a particular ship operating in a harbour basin. This paper ... -
Morphodynamics of sandy beaches under the influence of storm sequences: current research status and future needs
(2019-09)
Article
Open AccessThis paper reviews and discusses the current research status, trends, and future needs in the field of beach morphodynamics under the influence of storm sequences. The paper reviews how the three main research methods, ... -
Economic impact of overtopping and adaptation measures in Catalan ports due to sea level rise
(2019-07)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper, the impact of sea level rise (SLR) throughout the 21st century in the overtopping of port breakwaters is analyzed at a regional scale, focusing on the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean). The study is made ... -
Federal conservation units in the Brazilian amazon coastal zone: an adequate approach to control recreational activities?
(2019-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCoastal tourism usually is of enormous interest to local coastal communities due to its potential for the creation of jobs and the generation of income. Within this context, beaches are the main resource since they comprise ... -
Wave boundary layer hydrodynamics and sheet flow properties under large-scale plunging-type breaking waves
(Wiley, 2019-01)
Article
Open AccessWave boundary layer (WBL) dynamics are measured with an Acoustic Concentration and Velocity Profiler (ACVP) across the sheet flow-dominated wave-breaking region of regular large-scale waves breaking as a plunger over a ... -
Spatial and temporal distributions of turbulence under bichromatic breaking waves
(2019-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present study aims to extend insights of surf zone turbulence dynamics to wave groups. In a large-scale wave flume, bichromatic wave groups were produced with 31.5 s group period, 4.2 s mean wave period, and a 0.58 m ... -
Assessing the impact of sea level rise on port operability using LiDAR-derived digital elevation models
(2019-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyOne of the main consequences of climate change is the sea level rise (SLR), which impacts coastal areas affecting many infrastructures, particularly seaports, whose operations may be jeopardized. In this paper, a methodological ... -
Long wave generation induced by differences in the wave-group structure
(Wiley, 2018-12)
Article
Open AccessThe propagation of bichromatic wave groups with differences in the wave-group structure and its influence in long-wave generation are investigated. The wave-group structure is controlled by the number of wave groups (Ng) ... -
Comparison of Coastal Vulnerability Index applications for Barcelona Province
(2019-08)
Article
Open AccessThe Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) is one of the simplest and commonly used methods to assess coastal vulnerability to sea-level rise (SLR) driven erosion and/or inundation. In this way, it is a common tool contributing ... -
Sensitivity of storm-induced hazards in a highly curvilinear coastline to changing storm directions: the Tordera delta case (NW Mediterranean)
(2019-04)
Article
Open AccessExtreme coastal storms, especially when incident in areas with densely urbanized coastlines, are one of the most damaging forms of natural disasters. The main hazards originating from coastal storms are inundation and ...
