Both previous experimental and numerical studies revealed that there are two di erent regimes when waves propagate from deep water over a slope to shallow water. For shallow water and/or abrupt depth transition there can be a local maximum of extreme waves near the shallow edge of the bottom slope, while for deep water and/or mild depth transition no such local maximum of extreme waves is found. Standard simpli ed wave models, in particular nonlinear Schrödinger equations for nonuniform depth, have not been able to account for the transition between these two regimes. With this background, in this thesis we derive a modi ed NLS equation for nonuniform depth in order to better represent abrupt bathymetry of arbitrary depth, in the hope that this may allow NLS models to account for previous experimental observations. The NLS equation derived in this thesis is expressed in space and time evolution forms which can be used for both nite and in nite depth. In the limit of nite depth, the stability analysis for both space and time evolution equations indicates that wave trains on water of uniform depth, h, are unstable if the wavenumber, k, satis es kh > 1.363, but they are otherwise stable. Furthermore, our investigation in stability analysis shows that the asymptotic behavior of the nite-depth results reproduce the deep-water results.
