Tropical-cyclone impacts can have devastating effects on the population, infrastructure, and natural habitats. However, predicting these impacts is difficult due to the inherent uncertainties in the storm track and intensity. In addition, due to computational constraints, both the relevant ocean physics and the uncertainties in meteorological...

Predicting the response of complex systems for coastal management

Hendrickx, G.G. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author)

In recent years, coastal management has been facing new challenges: socio-economic growth and consequent climate change impose new boundary conditions pushing coastal systems towards unseen states. For adaptation and mitigation strategies as well as risk management, the resilience of systems to these projected changes must be tested and...

Changing (wind) climate might influence the magnitude, direction, and frequency of wave systems (Lobeto et al., 2021). However, in coastal engineering applications, generalized wave parameters are commonly used in climate change assessments with the risk of, for example, misrepresenting the nearshore transformation of wind-driven wave climates ...

Hendrickx, G.G. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Herman, P.M.J. (author), Aarninkhof, S.G.J. (author)

All around the world, deltas are among the most densely populated and heavily utilised regions, where crucial functions, such as freshwater availability and safety against flooding, strongly relate to the natural dynamics of the system. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the estuarine system is crucial, especially when developing nature...

Global Projections of Storm Surges Using High-Resolution CMIP6 Climate Models

Muis, Sanne (author), Aerts, Jeroen C.J.H. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Dullaart, Job C. (author), Erikson, Li (author), Haarsma, Rein J. (author), Apecechea, Maialen Irazoqui (author), Mengel, Matthias (author), Verlaan, M. (author)

In the coming decades, coastal flooding will become more frequent due to sea-level rise and potential changes in storms. To produce global storm surge projections from 1950 to 2050, we force the Global Tide and Surge Model with a ∼25-km resolution climate model ensemble from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 High Resolution...

A changing wave climate in the Mediterranean Sea during 58-years using UERRA-MESCAN-SURFEX high-resolution wind fields

Elshinnawy, Ahmed I. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author)

This study unravels 58-years (1961–2018) of wind-waves in the Mediterranean Sea (MS). A wave dataset was developed using the wave model WAVEWATCH III forced with the high-resolution (5.5 km) UERRA-MESCAN-SURFEX downscaled wind fields which better contain the imprint of the local geomorphology compared to other, coarser wind datasets used in...

This study quantifies the uncertainties in the projected changes in potential longshore sediment transport (LST) rates along a non-straight coastline. Four main sources of uncertainty, including the choice of emission scenarios, Global Circulation Model-driven offshore wave datasets (GCM-Ws), LST models, and their non-linear interactions were...

On the projected changes in New Zealand's wave climate and its main drivers

Albuquerque, João (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Méndez, Fernando J. (author), Coco, Giovanni (author)

Wave climatologies from historical and projected simulations of the ACCESS1.0, MIROC5 and CNRM-CM5 Global Circulation Models (GCM) were sourced from the Coordinated Ocean Wave Climate Project (COWCLIP) and downscaled using the SWAN wave model. Biases between GCM's historical simulations and a regional hindcast were assessed, and the two best...

Quantifying Frontal-Surface Area of Woody Vegetation: A Crucial Parameter for Wave Attenuation

Kalloe, S.A. (author), Hofland, Bas (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), van Wesenbeeck, B (author)

The last years, capacity of vegetation to reduce wave impact is receiving considerable attention. To predict wave attenuation processes within vegetation fields reliable estimates of vegetation parameters are needed. This proves to be difficult for woody vegetation as it consists of complex branch structures, characterized by varying branch...

Characterization of morphological surface activities derived from near-continuous terrestrial lidar time series

Hulskemper, D. (author), Anders, K. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Kuschnerus, M. (author), Höfle, B. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author)

The Earth's landscapes are shaped by processes eroding, transporting and depositing material over various timespans and spatial scales. To understand these surface activities and mitigate potential hazards they inflict (e.g., the landward movement of a shoreline), knowledge is needed on the occurrences and impact of these activities. Near...

Sandy beaches and dune systems have high recreational and ecological value, and they offer protection against flooding during storms. At the same time, these systems are very vulnerable to storm impacts. Process-based numerical models are presently used to assess the morphological changes of dune and beach systems during storms. However, such...

Zarifsanayei, Amin Reza (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Etemad-Shahidi, Amir (author), Cartwright, Nick (author), Strauss, Darrell (author)

Although there have been many efforts in the literature to hindcast the patterns of longshore sediment transport (LST), they mainly disregarded uncertainty issues. Forcing datasets, wave transformation methods, and LST models are among the main sources of uncertainty in LST estimations. The combination of the aforementioned sources of...

Bakker, Tije M. (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Leijnse, T.W.B. (author), Pearson, S.G. (author), Giardino, Alessio (author)

Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are singular storms causing intense wind, large waves, extreme water levels, and heavy rainfall. TCs prove every year to be one of the most destructive natural phenomena worldwide. The quantitative assessment of the hazards resulting from TCs (i.e., flooding and extreme winds) is challenging since satellite data are...

Worldwide, communities are facing increasing flood risk, due to more frequent and intense hazards and rising exposure through more people living along coastlines and in flood plains. Nature-based Solutions (NbS), such as mangroves, and riparian forests, offer huge potential for adaptation and risk reduction. The capacity of trees and forests...

A Clustering Approach for Predicting Dune Morphodynamic Response to Storms Using Typological Coastal Profiles: A Case Study at the Dutch Coast

Athanasiou, Panagiotis (author), Van Dongeren, Ap (author), Giardino, Alessio (author), Vousdoukas, Michalis (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Ranasinghe, Roshanka (author)

Dune erosion driven by extreme marine storms can damage local infrastructure or ecosystems and affect the long-term flood safety of the hinterland. These storms typically affect long stretches (∼100 km) of sandy coastlines with variable topo-bathymetries. The large spatial scale makes it computationally challenging for process-based...
