A Bayesian Network methodology for coastal hazard assessments on a regional scale: the BN-CRAF
(2020-04)
Article
Accés obertHazard assessment is one of the key elements to be included in any coastal risk assessment framework. Characterizing storm-induced erosion and inundation involves the assessment of the coastal response under the forcing ... -
A ferrofluid-based sensor to measure bottom shear stresses under currents and waves
(2018-02)
Article
Accés obertThe measurement of the near-bottom flow characteristics is crucial to correctly understand coastal processes. To overcome some of the limits of present state-of-the-art measuring instruments, we propose a novel approach ... -
A hybrid numerical model for coastal engineering problems
(2014)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertThe implementation and first validation of a hybridization technique between a NLSWE model and a meshless fully Navier-Stokes equation-based model are presented. The scope is to overcome the limitations of each numerical ... -
A Mediterranean coastal database for assessing the impacts of sea-level rise and associated hazards
(Nature, 2018-03)
Article
Accés obertWe have developed a new coastal database for the Mediterranean basin that is intended for coastal impact and adaptation assessment to sea-level rise and associated hazards on a regional scale. The data structure of the ... -
A methodological framework for selecting an optimal sediment source within a littoral cell
(2021-10)
Article
Accés obertOne of the most used measures to counteract coastal erosion is beach nourishment. It has advantages with respect to the use of rigid structures that sometimes entail non desired impacts on the surrounding areas. However, ... -
A MSFD complementary approach for the assessment of pressures, knowledge and data gaps in Southern European Seas: the PERSEUS experience
(2015-06)
Article
Accés obertPERSEUS project aims to identify the most relevant pressures exerted on the ecosystems of the Southern European Seas (SES), highlighting knowledge and data gaps that endanger the achievement of SES Good Environmental Status ... -
A multi-component flood risk assessment in the Maresme coast (NW Mediterranean)
(2018-01)
Article
Accés obertCoastal regions are the areas most threatened by natural hazards, with floods being the most frequent and significant threat in terms of their induced impacts, and therefore, any management scheme requires their evaluation. ... -
A multivariate model of NW Mediterranean extreme events at present and future climate: hydrodynamics, energy and duration
(International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG), 2015)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialA statistical model of the future wave-extreme-climate under the RCP8.5 Climatic-Change scenario was required. Some variables of interest are energy, unitary energy, peak wave-period, duration, wave direction and growth-decay ... -
A multivariate statistical model of extreme events: an application to the Catalan coast
(2016-11)
Article
Accés obertWave extreme events can be understood as the combination of Storm-intensity, Directionality and Intra-time distribution. However, the dependence structure among these factors is still unclear. A methodology has been developed ... -
A new era of coastal services
(2018-01)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe increasing quality and quantity of information provided by Copernicus (the European Union Programme funneling Earth Observation and in situ data into a broad set of information services) offer the possibility to analyse ... -
A new generation of early warning systems for coastal risk: the iCoast project
(2014)
Comunicació de congrés
Accés obertA new coastal early warning system CEWS called iCoast for the NW Mediterranean Sea is under development. It is composed of three numerical modules: meteorological, hydrodynamic and morphodynamic. The CEWS is designed for ... -
A novel and multi-purpose ASV for the Basque Coast: design, experimental testing, and main challenges
(SARTI, 2023)
Article
Accés obertAutonomous Surface Vehicles (ASVs) have become a powerful tool for marine research due to their capability to make observations over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. ASVs provide accurate, high-resolution, ... -
A real-time wave monitoring application tool for wave agitation in harbors
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Projecte Final de Màster Oficial
Accés obert -
A review of potential physical impacts on harbours in the Mediterranean Sea under climate change
(2016-12)
Article
Accés obertThe potential impact of climate change on port operations and infrastructures has received much less attention than the corresponding impact for beach systems. However, ports have always been vulnerable to weather extremes ... -
A sand-gravel Gilbert delta subject to base level change
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2018-05)
Article
Accés obertLaboratory experiments were conducted on a sand-gravel Gilbert delta to gain insight on its dynamics under varying base level. Base level rise results in intensified aggradation over the topset, as well as a decrease in ... -
A simplified procedure to assess the dynamic stability of a caisson breakwater
(2013)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe paper describes a simplified method of analysis used to evaluate the stability of a caisson breakwater to sea wave actions. An intensive laboratory program was performed in order to evaluate the static and dynamic ... -
Absorption of water waves in a two-dimensional numerical flume
(Centro Internacional de Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería (CIMNE), 2009)
Text en actes de congrés
Accés obertIn this work the absorption of water waves in a numerical wave flume is discussed in terms of performance and robustness. A general formulation for the analysis of fluidstructure interaction problems using the Particle ... -
Actuaciones en playas y surf. El caso de Barcelona
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2009-03)
