Assessing the economic suitability of aeration and the influence of bed heating on constructed wetlands treatment efficiency and life-span
(2015-10)
Article
Accés obertConstructed wetlands including aeration and heating were studied to improve treatment efficiency and prevent clogging. The experiments were carried out in a pilot plant (0.4 m(2)) treating urban wastewater with an organic ... -
Wind variability in a coastal area (Alfacs Bay, Ebro River delta)
(2015-03)
Article
Accés obertWind spatial heterogeneity in a coastal area (Alfacs Bay, northwestern Mediterranean Sea) is described using a set of observations and modelling results. Observations in three meteorological stations (during 2012–2013) ... -
Effect of bacteria density and accumulated inert solids on the effluent pollutant concentrations predicted by the constructed wetlands model BIO_PORE
(2015-07-01)
Article
Accés obertConstructed wetlands are a widely adopted technology for the treatment of wastewater in small communities. The understanding of their internal functioning has increased at an unprecedented pace over recent years, in part ... -
Impacts on wave-driven harbour agitation due to climate change in Catalan ports
(2015)
Article
Accés obertThe objective of the present work is to analyse how changes in wave patterns due to the effect of climate change can affect harbour agitation (oscillations within the port due to wind waves). The study focuses on 13 harbours ... -
Sorting of a sand-gravel mixture in a Gilbert-type delta
(2015-08)
Article
Accés obertThis paper presents the results of a Gilbert-type delta progradation experiment within an impoundment created by a dam. The delta was composed of a poorly sorted sand-gravel mixture in a bedload-dominated environment. The ... -
A simple and efficient unstructured finite volume scheme for solving the shallow water equations in overland flow applications
(2015-07)
Article
Accés obertThis paper presents the Decoupled Hydrological Discretisation (DHD) scheme for solving the shallow water equations in hydrological applications involving surface runoff in rural and urban basins. The name of the scheme is ... -
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 ... -
Hydrodynamic response in a microtidal and shallow bay under energetic wind and seiche episodes
(2015-09)
Article
Accés obertIn this contribution we investigate the hydrodynamic response in a micro-tidal and shallow semi-enclosed domain. We chose a set of observations which include currents, hydrography and meteorological data obtained in Alfacs ... -
Efectos del cambio climático y usos del suelo sobre los recursos hídricos de la cuenca del río Tordera (Barcelona, España)
(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), 2015-03)
Article
Accés obertSe presentan los efectos del cambio global en la cuenca del río Tordera (España) para el periodo 2000-2050, escenarios climáticos A2 (medio-alto) definidos por el Panel Intergubernamental del Cambio Climático (IPCC, 200) ... -
Wave energy balance in wave models (SWAN) for semi-enclosed domains: application to the Catalan coast
(2014-09)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThis study has been motivated by the limited accuracy of wave models under short-duration, fetch-limited conditions. This applies particularly to the wave period, in semi-enclosed domains with highly variable wind patterns ... -
Analysis of the influence of river discharge and wind on the Ebro turbid plume using MODIS-Aqua and MODIS-Terra data
(2015-02)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe turbid plume formed at many river mouths influences the adjacent coastal area because it transports sediments, nutrients, and pollutants.; The effects of the main forcings affecting the Ebro turbid plume were analyzed ... -
Influence of hydrothermal pretreatment on microalgal biomass anaerobic digestion and bioenergy production
(2015-01-01)
Article
Accés obertMicroalgal biomass grown in wastewater treatment raceway ponds may be valorised producing bioenergy through anaerobic digestion. However, pretreatment techniques seem to be necessary for enhancing microalgae methane yield. ...
