Assessing the economic suitability of aeration and the influence of bed heating on constructed wetlands treatment efficiency and life-span
(2015-10)
Article
Open AccessConstructed wetlands including aeration and heating were studied to improve treatment efficiency and prevent clogging. The experiments were carried out in a pilot plant (0.4 m(2)) treating urban wastewater with an organic ... -
Wind variability in a coastal area (Alfacs Bay, Ebro River delta)
(2015-03)
Article
Open AccessWind spatial heterogeneity in a coastal area (Alfacs Bay, northwestern Mediterranean Sea) is described using a set of observations and modelling results. Observations in three meteorological stations (during 2012–2013) ... -
Effect of bacteria density and accumulated inert solids on the effluent pollutant concentrations predicted by the constructed wetlands model BIO_PORE
(2015-07-01)
Article
Open AccessConstructed wetlands are a widely adopted technology for the treatment of wastewater in small communities. The understanding of their internal functioning has increased at an unprecedented pace over recent years, in part ... -
Impacts on wave-driven harbour agitation due to climate change in Catalan ports
(2015)
Article
Open AccessThe objective of the present work is to analyse how changes in wave patterns due to the effect of climate change can affect harbour agitation (oscillations within the port due to wind waves). The study focuses on 13 harbours ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
A simple and efficient unstructured finite volume scheme for solving the shallow water equations in overland flow applications
(2015-07)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents the Decoupled Hydrological Discretisation (DHD) scheme for solving the shallow water equations in hydrological applications involving surface runoff in rural and urban basins. The name of the scheme is ... -
A MSFD complementary approach for the assessment of pressures, knowledge and data gaps in Southern European Seas: the PERSEUS experience
(2015-06)
Article
Open AccessPERSEUS project aims to identify the most relevant pressures exerted on the ecosystems of the Southern European Seas (SES), highlighting knowledge and data gaps that endanger the achievement of SES Good Environmental Status ... -
Sustainability of artificial coasts: the Barcelona coast case
(Elsevier, 2015-06)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyCoastal Zones: Solutions for the 21st Century bridges the gap between national and international efforts and the local needs for actions in communities where coastal zone challenges are faced daily. The solution-oriented ... -
Coastal sustainability for uncertain futures: a Spanish Mediterranean case from the RISES-AM- project
(2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis document presents the impacts of future climatic conditions as a function of coastal typology. The impact assessment is carried out at decadal and storm scales showing how such a combination produces the worst levels ... -
Experimental RAO’s analysis of a monolithic concrete spar structure for offshore floating wind turbines
(2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyNowadays the offshore wind energy market is clearly oriented to be extended around the world. Bottom fixed solutions for supporting offshore wind turbines are useful in shallow waters which are available in ... -
Experiments on a scale model of a monolithic concrete spar for floating wind turbines
(2015)
Conference report
Open AccessPreliminary studies of a concept consisting of a monolithic concrete SPAR platform were presented in 2014. The studies were performed in the framework of the AFOSP KIC-InnoEnergy project (Alternative Floating Platform ...
