In a world affected by climate change and sea-level rise, intense storms are expected to become more frequent in the future. This implies that our coastal protections will be often intensely overtopping waves, potentially endangering safety of communities. The objective present study is investigate hazard people/pedestrians postwave flows over an inclined surface, simulating dike.

We survey the progress (or lack thereof!) that has been made on some questions about the p-adic slopes of modular forms that were raised by the first author in [Buz05], discuss strategies for making further progress, and examine other related questions.
