OVERPROET - CIEM

The dataset originates from an experimental campaign conducted in the large-scale wave flume (CIEM), aimed at improving the prediction of wave overtopping at urban coastal structures under extreme wave conditions. The study focuses particularly on seawalls located on sandy beaches, which are often situated in areas highly vulnerable to sea level rise under future RCP climate scenarios. These structures require updated assessment methodologies that account for both the structural characteristics of the defences and the morphodynamic behaviour of the surrounding beach.
