This paper is particularly relevant to investigations into the spread of organisms that remain close to shore over timescales of days-to-weeks, e.g., the spread of marine non-native species and pathogenetic parasites, but is equally relevant to simulations tracking the dispersal of eDNA or coastal pollutants such as oil and plastics.
This paper develops a coupling between SWAN and Thetis models to account for wave–current interactions occurring by the co-existence of wave and current flows. The different grids and time-steps employed by the model components allow greater flexibility. The two models run consecutively, and communicate internally to exchange the necessary parameters. These are the significant wave height, mean wave direction, mean wavelength and percentage of wave-breaking calculated by SWAN necessary for calculating radiation stress and wave roller effects, while Thetis provides water elevation and current velocity fields.
Cities and communities can be understood as "climate sensitive systems." This One Earth Perspective article proposes a research paradigm for assessing compounding and cascading risks, which is important for developing sustainable and resilient cities (SDG 11) and climate adaptation (SDG 13).
Halting global warming (SDG 13) requires at minimum achieving net-zero GHG emissions; keeping warming under 2C or 1.5C requires reaching net-zero emissions before the GHG levels exceed concentrations compatible with those temperature targets. This One Earth research article models how countries working in their own self-interest might collaborate to reach those agreed upon goals.
