Sea level rise and wave overtopping
Year: 2023
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This presentation looks at the median and range of changes in coastal overtopping rates for coastal defences across the English coastline based on rises in sea levels of up to 1m. It considers the changes for both vertical walls and coastal embankments, with specific attention given to vertical walls, highlighting that extreme overtopping rates are more dependent on water depths at the structure toe than potential rises in mean sea levels.
