Morphodynamics of sandy beaches under the influence of storm sequences: current research status and future needs
(2019-09)
Article
Open AccessThis paper reviews and discusses the current research status, trends, and future needs in the field of beach morphodynamics under the influence of storm sequences. The paper reviews how the three main research methods, ... -
Economic impact of overtopping and adaptation measures in Catalan ports due to sea level rise
(2019-07)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper, the impact of sea level rise (SLR) throughout the 21st century in the overtopping of port breakwaters is analyzed at a regional scale, focusing on the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean). The study is made ... -
Federal conservation units in the Brazilian amazon coastal zone: an adequate approach to control recreational activities?
(2019-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCoastal tourism usually is of enormous interest to local coastal communities due to its potential for the creation of jobs and the generation of income. Within this context, beaches are the main resource since they comprise ... -
Wave boundary layer hydrodynamics and sheet flow properties under large-scale plunging-type breaking waves
(Wiley, 2019-01)
Article
Open AccessWave boundary layer (WBL) dynamics are measured with an Acoustic Concentration and Velocity Profiler (ACVP) across the sheet flow-dominated wave-breaking region of regular large-scale waves breaking as a plunger over a ... -
Spatial and temporal distributions of turbulence under bichromatic breaking waves
(2019-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe present study aims to extend insights of surf zone turbulence dynamics to wave groups. In a large-scale wave flume, bichromatic wave groups were produced with 31.5 s group period, 4.2 s mean wave period, and a 0.58 m ... -
Assessing the impact of sea level rise on port operability using LiDAR-derived digital elevation models
(2019-10)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyOne of the main consequences of climate change is the sea level rise (SLR), which impacts coastal areas affecting many infrastructures, particularly seaports, whose operations may be jeopardized. In this paper, a methodological ... -
Long wave generation induced by differences in the wave-group structure
(Wiley, 2018-12)
Article
Open AccessThe propagation of bichromatic wave groups with differences in the wave-group structure and its influence in long-wave generation are investigated. The wave-group structure is controlled by the number of wave groups (Ng) ... -
Comparison of Coastal Vulnerability Index applications for Barcelona Province
(2019-08)
Article
Open AccessThe Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) is one of the simplest and commonly used methods to assess coastal vulnerability to sea-level rise (SLR) driven erosion and/or inundation. In this way, it is a common tool contributing ... -
Sensitivity of storm-induced hazards in a highly curvilinear coastline to changing storm directions: the Tordera delta case (NW Mediterranean)
(2019-04)
Article
Open AccessExtreme coastal storms, especially when incident in areas with densely urbanized coastlines, are one of the most damaging forms of natural disasters. The main hazards originating from coastal storms are inundation and ... -
Characterization of bottom sediment resuspension events observed in a micro-tidal bay
(2019-03)
Article
Open AccessIn this study we investigate the variability in near-bottom turbidity in Alfacs Bay (in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea). The bay is characterized by a micro-tidal environment and seiching activity that may lead to flow ... -
First considerations on environmental friendly solutions to protect the southern Romanian coast
(GeoEcoMar, 2018-12)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this work is to assess the effect of a nature-based solution for reducing wave heights on the Southern Romanian coast. Apart from investigating the presence of seagrass from the environmental point of view, there ... -
Use of a hydrodynamic model for the management of water renovation in a coastal system
(2019-03)
Article
Open AccessIn this contribution we investigate the hydrodynamic response in Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta, NW Mediterranean Sea) to different anthropogenic modifications in freshwater flows and inner bay–open sea connections. The fresh water ...
