Mangroves offer vital ecological advantages including air and water filtration, coastal and estuarine habitat provision, sediment stabilization, and wave energy dissipation. Their intricate root systems play a key role in safeguarding shorelines from tsu...

This article presents a model study of the dynamics of icebergs and surface floats in the Labrador Sea. The model was forced with data on the wind above the ocean surface, surface waves, and ocean currents. These data were obtained from the reanalysis of...

Flapping-foil thrusters are systems that operate at a substantially lower frequency compared with marine propellers and are characterized by a much smaller power concentration. These biomimetic devices are able to operate very efficiently, offering desir...

Wave energy conversion technologies have recently attracted more attention as part of global efforts to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy resources. While ocean waves can provide renewable energy, they can also be destructive to coastal areas th...

Climate change can give rise to significant changes in the intensity and frequency of extreme events. In the present study, extreme wave events off the central-eastern coast of the Red Sea, near the city of Jeddah, were investigated using a 39-year wave ...

Forced ice-shelf oscillations modeling was undertaken employing a full 3D finite-difference model of an elastic ice shelf that was coupled to a treatment of under-shelf seawater flux. The seawater flux was described by the wave equation, which includes t...

We developed and deployed two inertial measurement units on mobile pack ice during a U.S. Navy drifting ice campaign in the Beaufort Sea. The ice camp was more than 1000 km from the nearest open water. The sensors were stationed on thick (>1 m) first- an...

Efforts to identify in situ the mechanisms underpinning the response of harmful algae to climate change demand frequent observations in dynamic and often difficult to access marine and freshwater environments. Increasingly, resource managers and research...

Disastrous storm surges and waves caused by typhoons are major marine dynamic disasters affecting the east China coast and the Changjiang River Estuary, especially when they occur coincidentally. In this study, a high-resolution wave?current coupled mode...

During recent decades observation of climate archives has raised several questions. Concerning the mid-Pleistocene transition problem, conflicting sets of hypotheses highlight either the role of ice sheets or atmospheric carbon dioxide in causing the inc...
