DOI: 10.1007/s10021-020-00519-2
Abstract: The intensity of major storm events generated within the Atlantic Basin is projected to rise with the warming of the oceans, which is likely to exacerbate coastal erosion. Nature-based flood defence has been proposed as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14634988.2020.1807299
Abstract: Frequently exposed to natural agents such as waves, wind, tides, storm activity, seasonal changes and anthropogenic agents, coastal areas are tangibly high energy environments and therefore subject to considerable dynamics. In order to mitigate and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icesjms/fsad080
Abstract: Coastal erosion is occurring at a faster rate than in the past. The adverse impacts are not negligible at environmental, economic, and socio-cultural levels. Hence, coastal protection is currently seen as an emerging need to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13411
Abstract: Seagrasses provide an important ecosystem service by creating a stable erosion-resistant seabed that contributes to effective coastal protection. Variable morphologies and life-history strategies, however, are likely to impact the sediment stabilization capacity of different seagrass… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jmse5040050
Abstract: In the present work, an integrated coastal engineering numerical model is presented. The model simulates the linear wave propagation, wave-induced circulation, and sediment transport and bed morphology evolution. It consists of three main modules: WAVE_L,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ma14030634
Abstract: Geosynthetic materials are applied in measures for coastal protection. Weathering or any damage of constructions, as shown by a field study in Kaliningrad Oblast (Russia), could lead to the littering of the beach or the… read more here.
