Wave Runup

Wave runup, the upward movement of water on a shoreline during wave action, is a crucial factor in coastal erosion, flooding, and structural damage. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of wave runup prediction models, employing advanced techniques like physics-informed machine learning, often combining computationally efficient models with higher-fidelity simulations to enhance predictive capabilities. These advancements are vital for effective coastal management and risk assessment, enabling better design of coastal defenses and more accurate predictions of coastal hazards exacerbated by climate change.
