    • A sand-gravel Gilbert delta subject to base level change 

      Chavarrías Borrás, Víctor; Blom, Astrid; Orrú, Clara; Martín Vide, Juan Pedro; Viparelli, Enrica (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2018-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      Laboratory 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 

      Lluch Elizalde, José Antonio (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-05-08)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      La 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 

      Segura Morera, Oriol (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-09-28)
      Bachelor thesis
      Open Access
      La 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 

      Viparelli, Enrica; Blom, Astrid; Ferrer Boix, Carles; Kuprenas, Rachel (European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2014-06)
      Article
      Open Access
      A 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 ...

    • Km-scale shoreline sand waves in the Western Mediterranean Sea 

      Falqués Serra, Albert; Ribas Prats, Francesca (Springer International Publishing, 2017)
      Part of book or chapter of book
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      A 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 

      Le Coz, Ludovie (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-27)
      Master thesis
      Open Access
      This 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 

      Dollet Prieto, Gaël (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-06-21)
      Bachelor thesis
      Open Access
      Quan 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 

      Ferrer Boix, Carles; Martín Vide, Juan Pedro; Parker, Gary (2015-08)
      Article
      Open Access
      This 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 ...

    • Working with Nature in the Ebro delta coast: a sediment-based solution to mitigate shoreline retreat 

      Martínez Duró, Elvira (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-30)
      Master thesis
