MODEL TREE APPROACH FOR PREDICTION OF INCIDENT ANDINFRA-GRAVITY SWASH ON NATURAL BEACHES

Natural beaches play a critical role as the main obstacle against risk of flooding and erosion.Knowing the conditions that lead to overtopping on beaches is crucial for coastal andplanning management and also for assessing the potential flooding risk. Wave run-up is animportant parameter that specifies whether overtopping will happen or not
