Deltas in river regulated basins have become coastal vulnerability hotspots, for which traditional coastal engineering does not provide acceptable risk reductions. This is well illustrated by the Ebro delta (W Mediterranean) ...

This study presents novel insights into hydrodynamics and sediment fluxes in large-scale laboratory experiments with bichromatic wave groups on a relatively steep initial beach slope (1:15). An Acoustic Concentration and ...

Most of the coastal hydraulic studies in physical and numerical wave flumes (NWF) require the correct generation of nonlinear, long period waves at intermediate and shallow water conditions. In this paper, the ability to ...

The paper presents a nested and coupled modelling suite including meteorological, waves, currents and morphodynamics sub-routines. The sequence has been applied to two distinctiv e beaches along the Catalan coast in the ...

The implementation of operational oceanography in the past 15 years has provided many societal benefits and has led to many countries adopting a formal roadmap for providing ocean forecasts. Continuing the tradition of two ...

The accumulation of Posidonia meadow remains is a recurrent phenomenon along the Catalan coast. As we move along the coastline from Barcelona towards the south, during autumn and winter the remains of Posidonia Oceanica ...

Una parte muy importante de las playas de arena de España pueden ser consideradas como playas urbanas y por tanto se encuentran limitadas en su parte continental por todo tipo de infraestructuras (paseos marítimos, calles, ...

Changes in marine climate due to global warming can potentially have dramatic consequences for a country like Spain where the ocean plays a key role in the country's socioeconomics. In Spain, a large fraction of the ...

Aquest projecte europeu, liderat pel Laboratori d’Enginyeria Marítima de la UPC i el Centre Internacional d’Investigació dels Recursos Costaners (CIIRC), té per objectiu desenvolupar una solució sistèmica per a la restauració ...
