Abstract

Wave run-up is defined as the elevation of wave uprush on the beach profile or coastal structures above the still water level. Common applications of wave run-up measures include the prediction of flood events during storms, the design of coastal structures and the assessment of vulnerability in coastal management plans. This chapter gives a general overview of the techniques adopted to measure wave run-up. Traditional techniques, such as resistance wires, wave gauges, pressure sensors and ultrasonic sensors have been used in the field and laboratory. The advent of shore-base video monitoring systems have significantly improved the measurement on beaches in the last two decades.
