A Mediterranean coastal database for assessing the impacts of sea-level rise and associated hazards
(Nature, 2018-03)
Article
Open AccessWe have developed a new coastal database for the Mediterranean basin that is intended for coastal impact and adaptation assessment to sea-level rise and associated hazards on a regional scale. The data structure of the ... -
Influence of a drought event on hydrological characteristics of a small estuary on the Amazon mangrove coast
(2018-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe effects of atypical climatic conditions, such as those of a drought event, are remarkably accentuated in minor estuaries filled with sediments and with reduced or sporadic freshwater input, where the salinity intrusion ... -
An analysis of nearshore profile and bar development under large scale erosive and accretive waves
(2018-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTypical 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 ... -
Experimental set-up and calibration errors for mapping wave-breaking pressures on marine structures
(2018-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCapturing the detailed spatial variation of pressures induced by breaking waves on physical model structures has become possible using a high resolution mapping system. It can provide data with 4 measuring points/cm2, ... -
Scouring processes in harbour basins during the docking and undocking manoeuvring: laboratory experiments
(Universidad de Cantabria, 2017-07-25)

Cruise passenger impacts on mobility within a port area: case of the Port of Barcelona
(2018-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCruise tourism has grown rapidly worldwide over the past 30 years. This increase in cruise passengers has brought a set of economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts. In a port context, it is reflected in mobility ... -
Storm-induced risk assessment: evaluation of two tools at the regional and hotspot scale
(2018-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCoastal zones are under increasing risk as coastal hazards increase due to climate change and the consequences of these also increase due to on-going economic development. To effectively deal with this increased risk ... -
Selecting coastal hotspots to storm impacts at the regional scale: a Coastal Risk Assessment Framework
(2018-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyManaging coastal risk at the regional scale requires a prioritization of resources along the shoreline. A transparent and rigorous risk assessment should inform managers and stakeholders in their choices. This requires ... -
The Tordera Delta, a hotspot to storm impacts in the coast northwards of Barcelona (NW Mediterranean)
(2018-04)
Article
Open AccessThe Catalan coast, as most of the developed Mediterranean coastal zone, can be characterized as a high-risk area to the impact of storms due to the large concentration of values together with the dominance of eroding ... -
Near-bed turbulent kinetic energy budget under a large-scale plunging breaking wave over a fixed bar
(Wiley, 2018-01-01)
Article
Open AccessHydrodynamics under regular plunging breaking waves over a fixed breaker bar were studied in a large-scale wave flume. A previous paper reported on the outer flow hydrodynamics; the present paper focuses on the turbulence ... -
Riesgos costeros y técnicas ópticas de observación
(2018-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyLa intensificación de la presión de uso sobre nuestro litoral está generando un incremento de los niveles de riesgo, entendido como la probabilidad de un suceso por el valor económico de sus consecuencias. El aumento del ... -
Multivariate hybrid modelling of future wave-storms at the northwestern Black Sea
(2018-02)
Article
Open AccessThe characterization of future wave-storms and their relationship to large-scale climate can provide useful information for environmental or urban planning at coastal areas. A hybrid methodology (process-based and statistical) ...
