Increasing evidence suggests that coastal ecosystems provide significant protection against flooding. However, these are highly impacted by local human activities and climate change, which has resulted in reducing their extent can limit role flooding mitigation. Most studies dealing with the offered focus on a single ecosystem and, also seldom assess potential differences changes status of ecos...

The Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are exposed to extreme wave conditions which projected be exacerbated by rising sea levels due climate change, prompting the need for strategic planning of coastal communities and assets. Nature-based protection has been proposed as a sustainable solution promote resilience areas from physical impacts such wave-induced erosion. In this study, we investigate p...

Fringing electric and magnetic field sensors are widely used for non-destructive measurements of material properties. A simple conventional fringing field sensor consists of a sensor head, a current or voltage source, an impedance measurement circuit, and data processing/data acquisition capability. The sensor head is usually a patterned array of electrodes or windings on an electrically insula...
