Abstract
• Caribbean reefs systems are highly efficient structures protecting coast from extreme waves • Infragravity waves generated within the surf zone become as high as sea-swell waves downstream the reef crest. • Wave-induced transport have profound consequences on the connectivity within the reef system.20 Aug 2024Submitted to ESS Open Archive 22 Aug 2024Published in ESS Open Archive
