10th Terzaghi Oration: Geotechnical engineering in a deltaic environment
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyTwo case histories involving harbour works in a deltaic environment are described in the paper. The mechanisms underlying delta formation and development are outlined first; they involve climate changes, geological processes ... -
A sand-gravel Gilbert delta subject to base level change
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2018-05)
Article
Open AccessLaboratory 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 ... -
Análisis numérico del transporte de sedimentos en la Bahía del Fangar
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-05-08)
Master thesis
Open AccessLa bahía del Fangar presenta un gran interés ambiental, aunque los usos antrópicos de la misma están alterando sus ecosistemas. Uno de los factores afectados es la dinámica sedimentaria en la propia bahía, que durante los ... -
Caracterización de la circulación superficial del mar en las proximidades del Delta del Ebro
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-09-28)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessLa variabilidad de la circulación en el mediterráneo está determinada por el efecto de los procesos locales y remotos generados por el viento, así como de la configuración de la batimetría y la línea de orilla. En este ... -
Comparison between experimental and numerical stratigraphy emplaced by a prograding delta
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2014-06)
Article
Open AccessA one-dimensional model that is able to store the stratigraphy emplaced by a prograding delta is validated against experimental results. The laboratory experiment describes the migration of a Gilbert delta on a sloping ... -
Estudio experimental de morfología deltaica dominada por mareas
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2012-10)
Minor thesis
Open AccessCon la presente tesina se realiza un estudio experimental, llevado a cabo en las instalaciones del Parque Tecnológico Agrópolis propiedad de la Universidad Politécnica de Catalunya, cuyo principal objetivo es reproducir y ... -
Impact of relative sea-level rise on low-lying coastal areas of Catalonia, NW Mediterranean, Spain
(2020-11)
Article
Open AccessLow-lying coastal areas are high-risk areas regarding sea-level rise (SLR) due to the combination of low elevation, subsidence and currently low sediment supply, on the one hand, and their high natural and socio-economic ... -
Km-scale shoreline sand waves in the Western Mediterranean Sea
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyA number of morphodynamic models have been developed to simulate the dynamics of large-scale bedform patterns on the continental shelf. Most of the models are based on linear stability analysis and, therefore, only ... -
Long term Evolution of barrier beaches. A modelling perspective
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-27)
Master thesis
Open AccessThis study presents an analytical model aiming to forecast the evolution of barrier beachesaround one hundred years upfront. The general goal is to create a tool for policy supportthat can help a proper coastal ... -
Simbiosi amb el paisatge fluvial : cas d’estudi : la Vall Baixa i els territoris del Delta del Llobregat
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-06-21)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessQuan pensem en el terme paisatge acostumem a imaginar un paisatge natural, verd, amb aigua, amb terra... Però, en els darrers anys aquests paisatges s’han anat transformant. L’evolució i l’esforç en “millorar” els nostres ... -
Sorting of a sand-gravel mixture in a Gilbert-type delta
(2015-08)
Article
Open AccessThis 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 ... -
