🔊Paper alert🔊 Enhancement of coastal flood mitigation by implementing hybrid flood defences integrating hard engineering and nature-based solutions🌊 by Matsoukis et al. in STOTEN @elsevierconnect.bsky.social 🔗https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2025.181063 @noc.ac.uk @ukri.org #CoOpt #SMMRUK

Splash! How can you measure waves overtopping a sea defence? Until recently the main method was "see how quick a bucket fills up". Margaret Yelland and Jenny Brown's Wire Wall uses a grid of capacitance wires and has now been tested for a year of continuous monitoring. 🌊
