Journal ArticleDOI
The global flood protection savings provided by coral reefs
Michael W. Beck,Inigo J. Losada,Pelayo Menéndez,Borja G. Reguero,Pedro Díaz-Simal,Felipe Atienza Fernández +5 more
TL;DR: The authors show that the annual damages from flooding would double globally without reefs and they quantify where reefs provide the most protection to people and property.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effectiveness, Costs and Coastal Protection Benefits of Natural and Nature-Based Defences.
Siddharth Narayan,Michael W. Beck,Borja G. Reguero,Inigo J. Losada,Bregje K. van Wesenbeeck,Nigel Pontee,James N. Sanchirico,Jane Carter Ingram,Glenn Marie Lange,Kelly A. Burks-Copes +9 more
TL;DR: The comparison of costs of nature-based defence projects and engineering structures show that salt-marshes and mangroves can be two to five times cheaper than a submerged breakwater for wave heights up to half a metre and, within their limits, become more cost effective at greater depths.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Value of Coastal Wetlands for Flood Damage Reduction in the Northeastern USA.
Siddharth Narayan,Michael W. Beck,Michael W. Beck,Paul Wilson,Christopher Thomas,Alexandra Guerrero,Christine C. Shepard,Borja G. Reguero,Borja G. Reguero,Guillermo Franco,Jane Carter Ingram,Dania Trespalacios +11 more
TL;DR: This study uses high-resolution flood and loss models to quantify the impacts of coastal wetlands in the northeastern USA on regional flood damages by Hurricane Sandy and local annual flood losses in Barnegat Bay in Ocean County, New Jersey.
Journal ArticleDOI
A recent increase in global wave power as a consequence of oceanic warming.
TL;DR: It is shown that global wave power has been increasing and can represent a climate change indicator and results indicate the upper-ocean warming, a consequence of anthropogenic global warming, is changing the global wave climate, making waves stronger.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global wave power resource and its seasonal, interannual and long-term variability
TL;DR: In this paper, a new global wave power assessment using a dataset that covers the period from 1948 to 2008, which was corrected using altimetry data and validated with buoys in terms of wave power.
