Tsunami-like solitary wave overtopping on vegetated-foreshore sea dikes: Characterization and prediction

Key Points

• Wave overtopping occurs during tsunami-like solitary wave events, impacting coastal infrastructure.
• The analysis identified key characteristics of wave behavior and interactions with vegetation.
• Observational analysis across various coastal sites assesses wave interactions with vegetated structures.
• Understanding these interactions may improve design and resilience of coastal defenses against such waves.
