Threshold velocities for coral rubble bind breakage across varying reef environments Open
On coral reefs, disturbances commonly generate legacy materials in the form of coral rubble. Rubble morphometrics and the diversity of organisms that bind rubble together can influence recovery trajectories. The quantification of rubble mo…

MEASUREMENT AND CFD MODELLING OF A FLOATING PARABOLIC BEACH SHAPED BREAKWATER Open
Offshore aquaculture systems require protection from extreme seas and swell waves. Floating wave breakwaters are generally ineffective for long waves and transmission coefficients increase rapidly as wave steepness decreases (Dai et al., 2…

Quantifying the impact of future climate change on the risk of coral rubble instability across the Great Barrier Reef by 2100 Open
Coral reef systems are facing unprecedented pressures due to climate change, and stable coral rubble substrates are crucial for facilitating large-scale coral regeneration. This study integrates the Sixth Phase of the Coupled Model Interco…

Accelerating coral rubble instability assessments with machine learning: insights from the Great Barrier Reef Open
The stability of coral rubble is crucial for coral reef recovery since a stable coral rubble base is essential for coral regeneration. To enhance the effectiveness of coral reef restoration and to model the recovery and connectivity of cor…

Determining Robust Optimal Pumping Solutions in a Heterogeneous Coastal Aquifer Using a Robust Decision-Making Approach and Bargaining Theory to Resolve Multiple Sources of Uncertainty Open
This paper analyses the impact of heterogeneity in the horizontal hydraulic conductivity field ( $${K}_{hf}$$ ) on the optimal pumping scenarios in a coastal aquifer and presents a multi-objective management framework to select robust opti…

Numerical investigation on the hydrodynamic and conversion performance of a dual cylindrical OWC integrated into a caisson-type breakwater Open
The hydrodynamic performance of an integrated oscillating water column (OWC) combined with a cylindrical caisson type breakwater was investigated. A three-dimensional numerical wave tank was established to simulate the overall energy conve…

Repeatability of beach morphology change under identical wave forcing Open
Laboratory investigations of beach morphology change under wave action are undertaken to gain insight into coastal processes, design coastal structures and validate the predictions of numerical models. For the results of such experiments t…

Mobilisation thresholds for coral rubble and consequences for windows of reef recovery Open
The proportional cover of rubble on reefs is predicted to increase as disturbances increase in intensity and frequency. Unstable rubble can kill coral recruits and impair binding processes that transform rubble into a stable substrate for …

Assessment of wave overtopping models for fringing reef fronted beaches. Open
This study presents new experiments and analysis to evaluate the performance of overtopping models for fringing reef fronted beaches. Physical experiments were conducted to measure the overtopping landward of an ideal fringing reef profile…

PHYSICAL MODELLING OF SOLITARY WAVE OVERTOPPING IN THE PRESENCE OF A COASTAL DUNE Open
Oceanic underwater disturbances are associated with submarine landslides, volcano eruptions, or seismic activity occurring below or near the ocean basin, which can produce tsunami, which have a small amplitude in deep water with a very lon…

REPEATABILITY OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGE ON A SANDY BEACH ACROSS MULTIPLE TIMESCALES Open
The swash zone is a highly dynamic region of the nearshore in terms of both hydro- and sediment dynamics. Previous work has demonstrated that the majority of swash events transport only small amounts of sediment and net beachface volume ch…
View article: LONG WAVES FORCED BY SYMMETRIC AND ASYMMETRIC WAVE GROUPS
LONG WAVES FORCED BY SYMMETRIC AND ASYMMETRIC WAVE GROUPS Open
Two solutions have been proposed for forced waves by wave groups. Two interpretations are proposed by Longuet-Higgins and Stewart (1962), LHS1962, and Mei (1989) for steady groups. These indicate a forced wave oscillating either around or …

ASSESMENT OF WAVE OVERTOPPING ON REEF-FRONTED SHORES Open
Overtopping has been widely studied to design coastal structures, and it is also an important parameter for coastal management in order to evaluate the protection by natural coastal systems against inundation. Most formulations for open co…

A PROCESS-BASED NUMERICAL MODEL OF SHOREFACE PROFILE EVOLUTION Open
It remains a challenge to model numerically profile evolution across the shore-face from deep water to the shoreline with stability and accuracy. At long time scales, attempts to date typically utilise equilibrium profile shapes or bed slo…

Experimental study on hydrodynamic response of a floating rigid fish tank model with slosh suppression blocks Open
The development of slosh suppression blocks is an important step forward for mitigating sloshing in floating closed containment fish tanks and makes the tanks suitable for operating in a broader range of wave conditions. This experimental …
