Public perceptions of the functions of natural and engineered infrastructure in coastal hazards mitigation: the cases of two communities in the Raritan bayshore, New Jersey
… and natural infrastructure in mitigating coastal hazards. For such policies to be effectively implemented, the mitigation functions of and relationship between natural infrastructure and engineered infrastructure must be understood and their integrated use accepted by affected actors, …

Forward and Inverse Modeling of Tsunami Sediment Transport
Tsunami is one of the most dangerous natural hazards in the coastal zone worldwide. Large tsunamis are relatively infrequent. Deposits are the only concrete evidence in the geological record with which we can determine both tsunami frequency and magnitude. Numerical modeling of sediment transport …

Iceberg Stability Investigations Using Machine Learning for Alaska and Greenland
Iceberg-capsize tsunamigenesis is a coastal hazard not often discussed or observed due to the lack of frequency of which this process occurs. Greenlandic communities are proximal to coasts and are at risk of tsunamis caused by unprompted iceberg-capsize. We use time-lapse imagery from our own sites …

Rapid Prediction of Tsunamis and Storm Surges Using Machine Learning
… two of the main destructive and costly natural hazards faced by coastal communities around the world. To enhance coastal resilience and to develop effective risk management strategies, accurate and efficient tsunami and storm surge prediction models are needed. However, existing physics-based …

Numerical Study of Metamaterial-Inspired Water Wave Control Technologies
Ocean waves serve as both a coastal hazard and a renewable energy resource. On one hand, they drive erosion and flooding, posing significant risks to coastal communities. On the other, they offer a vast but largely untapped source of sustainable energy. Addressing these challenges requires …

Quantifying forearc deformation patterns using coastal geomorphic markers
… breached by giant megathrust earthquakes. The coastal relief along tectonically active realms is shaped by the effect of sea-level variations and heterogeneous patterns of permanent tectonic deformation, which are accumulated through several cycles of megathrust earthquakes. However, the …

Valutazione della vulnerabilità delle coste della Sardegna a fenomeni di erosione ed inondazione dovuti all'impatto degli eventi estremi meteo-marini
… work is to provide a regional assessment of the coastal vulnerability of Sardinian sandy beaches to storm impacts. To do this we have assessed the geomorphic coastal vulnerability taking into account the intensity of storm induced hazards and the adaptation capacity of the system. The methodology …
