(author), Nicholls, Robert J. (author)Coastal erosion and flooding are projected to increase during the 21<sup>st</sup> century due to sea-level rise (SLR). To prevent adverse impacts of unmanaged coastal development, national organizations can apply a land protection policy, which consists of acquiring coastal land to avoid further development. Yet, these reserved areas remain...journal article 2024

Baladi, Elham (author), Xu, M. (author), Faria, Nicolas (author), Nicholls, Jeff (author), Hum, Sean V. (author)This work presents the design and experimental validation of a dual-band fully reconfigurable circularly polarized (CP) reflectarray (RA) antenna for satellite communication applications in the Ku-band. The proposed structure operates with the downlink and uplink beams at frequency bands of [10.8-11.8] and [14-15.4] GHz, respectively....journal article 2021

Toimil, Alexandra (author), Losada, Iñigo J. (author), Nicholls, Robert J. (author), Dalrymple, Robert A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Climate change is and will continue altering the world's coasts, which are the most densely populated and economically active areas on earth and home for highly valuable ecosystems. While there is considerable relevant research, in the authors' experience this problem remains challenging for coastal engineering. This paper reviews important...review 2020

Sabour, Salma (author), Brown, Sally (author), Nicholls, Robert J. (author), Haigh, Ivan D. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author)Natural World Heritage Sites (NWHS), which are of Outstanding Universal Value, are increasingly threatened by natural and anthropogenic pressures. This is especially true for coastal NWHS, which are additionally subject to erosion and flooding. This paper assesses shoreline change from 1984 to 2016 within the boundaries of 67 designated sites...journal article 2020

(author)This repot reviews the EARN project, which was undertaken under CEDR Call2012 in order to investigate the effects of using reclaimed asphalt (RA) and/or lower temperature asphalt on the road network. The work consisted of a review of existing data on service lifetime and availability of road materials and structures, a site trial to evaluate...conference paper 2019

(author), Scussolini, Paolo (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Ward, Philip J. (author)Estimating the current risk of coastal flooding requires adequate information on extreme sea levels. For over a decade, the only global data available was the DINAS-COAST Extreme Sea Levels (DCESL) dataset, which applies a static approximation to estimate extreme sea levels. Recently, a dynamically derived dataset was developed: the Global...journal article 2017

(author)Tides are a key component in coastal extreme water levels. Possible changes in the tides caused by mean sea-level rise (SLR) are therefore of importance in the analysis of coastal flooding, as well as many other applications. We investigate the effect of future SLR on the tides globally using a fully global forward tidal model: OTISmpi....journal article 2017

(author)The use of reclaimed asphalt, secondary component materials and/or additives and lower temperature asphalt are being increasingly used in order to improve the sustainability of asphalt production. The use of reclaimed asphalt reduces the need for virgin materials whilst lower temperature asphalts have reduced CO2 emissions, increased...conference paper 2015

Nicholls, R.J. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Tol, R.S.J. (author)The coastal zone is one of the most dynamic environments on our planet and is much affected by global change, especially sea-level rise. Coastal environments harbour valuable ecosystems, but they are also hugely important from a societal point of view. This book, which draws on the expertise of 21 leading international coastal scientists,...book chapter 2014

Capobianco, M. (author), De Vriend, H.J. (author), Nicholls, R.J. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)A possible approach for the development of simple predictive methods of shoreface profile evolution is described. By application of a detailed process-based, cross-shore morphodynamic model and of some inductive assumptions we build simple descriptions which reproduce possible behaviours of the upper zones of shoreface profile as a function of...conference paper 1993
