A ferrofluid-based sensor to measure bottom shear stresses under currents and waves
(2018-02)
Article
Open AccessThe 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 multivariate model of NW Mediterranean extreme events at present and future climate: hydrodynamics, energy and duration
(International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (IAMG), 2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyA 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
Open AccessWave 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
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe 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)
Conference lecture
Open AccessA 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 review of potential physical impacts on harbours in the Mediterranean Sea under climate change
(2016-12)
Article
Open AccessThe 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 synergetic combination of measurements and models to assess renewable wind energy in semi enclosed domains
(SARTI, 2013)
Conference lecture
Open Access -
Absorption of water waves in a two-dimensional numerical flume
(Centro Internacional de Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería (CIMNE), 2009)
Conference report
Open AccessIn 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 ... -
Adaptation under extreme events: predictive maintenance for risk reduction
(2022-11)
Article
Open AccessIncreasing human and climatic pressures on coastal systems and their infrastructure has resulted in cumulative loses for ecosystem services (e.g. Sanchez-Arcilla et al, 2022) and increasing degradation of coastal and ... -
An analysis of nearshore profile and bar development under large scale erosive and accretive waves
(2018-04)
Article
Open AccessTypical morphodynamic laboratory tests have been carried out at small scales and without sufficient coverage or resolution. These limitations, applying particularly to accretive tests, have obstructed reliable observations ... -
An insightful tool for the response of armor block breakwaters on impermeable bed combining numerical modeling techniques
(International Society of Ocean and Polar Engineers (ISOPE), 2023)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyWe aim to increase the efficiency of an open-source hydrodynamic model in investigating the structural performance of port infrastructure under high return period wave conditions, thus anticipating possible scenarios that ... -
Analysis of current intensification in the NorthWest Mediterranean Shelf
(2016-02)
Article
Open AccessFlow intensification episodes lasting more than 12 h are observed occasionally at different locations along the Northwestern Mediterranean coast. In the last years, these pulses have hindered ship operations outside the ... -
Analysis of the influence of river discharge and wind on the Ebro turbid plume using MODIS-Aqua and MODIS-Terra data
(2015-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe 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 ... -
Análisis y previsión de fenómenos naturales peligrosos
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Escola Tècnica Superior d'Enginyers de Camins Canals i Ports de Barcelona, 2011-11-16)
Conference lecture
Open AccessLa toma de decisiones referentes al diseño o en sistemas de alerta requieren el estudio de las acciones externas (frecuentemente meteorológicas), la descripción probabilista del sistema (vulnerabilidad, susceptibilidad) ... -
Assessing nature based solutions for managing coastal bays
(2020-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work investigates the hydrodynamic response of two small and shallow bays located in the Ebro Delta, in order to solve the problems affecting mussel farms, such as the high temperatures reached in the summer period ... -
Assessing the coastal protection role of seagrass meadows along a barrier beach, southern Romanian coast
(2023-02)
Article
Open AccessThe presence of seagrass along the Romanian coast is currently seen as an important component of the marine ecosystem. Moreover, seagrass meadows play an additional wave energy dissipation role that has also to be considered ... -
Assessment of aquaculture rafts exposure at river-borne substances using numerical modelling
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyCoastal bays and estuaries with aquaculture activity may show spatial variability on the exposure at river-borne substances such as nutrients, pesticides or pollutants. In function of the relative geographical position of ... -
Assessment of green measures as coastal defences using numerical models
(2017)
Conference report
Open AccessClimate change may reduce the performance and design life of “grey” coastal engineering interventions. Green solutions can be combined with present infrastructures providing extra flexibility to adapt our present beaches ... -
Assessment of harbour inoperability and adaptation cost due to sea level rise: application to the port of Tangier-Med (Morocco)
(2022-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper intends to assess the potential impacts of the future SLR on the operability of berthing structures and to estimate in monetary terms the adaptation costs to it. To do this, three scenarios of SLR are considered, ... -
Bar and berm dynamics during transition from dissipative to reflective beach profile
(2024-09)
Article
Open AccessBar and berm morphology characterize the seasonal beach evolution, and determine the protection against storm erosion as well as the touristic use of beaches. Thus, they are of particular interest for coastal management ...
