Incisión de ríos por extracción aluvial y retirada de presas. Estudio matemático y experimental.
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-03-23)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis Thesis deals with incision (bed degradation or general bed scouring) in rivers. More specifically it deals with the incision caused by gravel mining and by dam removal. The main goal of the research is to know ... -
Debris flows and general steep slope shallow water flows numerical simulation
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-01-24)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe main target of this research is to develop a numerical model for debris flow simulations. As it is known, in general, this kind of flows occur in steeped mountain slopes. When dealing with the complete 3D physic system ... -
Desarrollo de un modelo numérico 3D en elementos finitos para las ecuaciones de Navier-Stokes : aplicaciones oceanográficas
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2007-09-14)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessEn esta tesis se ha desarrollado y validado un modelo tridimensional de circulación costera en elementos finitos capaz de simular una región limitada del océano. La escala de longitud de las aplicaciones pueden ser del ... -
Trophic cascade modelling in bathyal ecosystems
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-05-15)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessDifferent aspects of the bathyal ecosystem have been treated with the final aim to investigate trophic cascades driven by fishery (top-down control), a phenomenon that in bathyal systems has never been studied. This was ... -
Daphnia magna bioassays to detect novel eco-toxicological effects of prioritary and emergent contaminants
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-01-10)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThere is increasing evidence that the presence of many emerging pollutants in aquatic ecosystems may have detrimental effects on aquatic biota. Of special concern are those emerging pollutants that may act as putative ... -
Exploiting the multiscale synergy among ocean variables : application to the improvement of remote sensing salinity maps
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10-23)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessLes imatges de teledetecció de la superfície oceànica proporcionen una vista sinòptica de la complexa geometria de la circulació oceànica, dominada per la variabilitat de mesoescala. Estructures com filaments i vòrtex són ... -
Biological rhythms in the Norway lobster (Nephrops Norvegicus L.) : Ecological modulation and genetic basis = Ritmos biológicos en la cigala (Nephrops norvegicus L.) : modulación ecológica y bases genéticas
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-07-20)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessNephrops norvegicus is an important fishery resource for Europe. Its rhythmic burrowing behavior is strictly related to catchability. Here I studied such behavior under laboratory conditions. I investigated the combined ... -
Hydrodynamic response of a shallow and microtidal estuary : Alfacs Bay. From high to low frequency processes
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-07-24)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessUsing both observations and modelling tools, it is investigated the main hydrodynamic response mechanisms of a microtidal and shallow bay in the Mediterranean Sea: Alfacs Bay. Main objectives are considered using differenttim ... -
On the circulation of the North Atlantic shadow zone
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-02-20)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessRegions isolated from the wind-driven circulation are found in the eastern margins of the world's tropical oceans. The weak and stagnant circulation of these so-called “shadow zones”, in combination with the intense ... -
The Northern Current and its interaction with the Blanes submarine canyon (NW Mediterranean Sea)
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-12-11)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessA high-resolution (~1.2km) 3D circulation model nested in one-way to a coarse-resolution (~4km) 3D regional model was used to examine the interaction between the Northern Current and the Blanes submarine canyon (~41°00’-41°46’N; ... -
Feeding ecology and community streucture of mesopelagic fishes in the Western Mediterranean = Ecología trófica y estructura de la comunidad de peces mesopelágicos del Mediterráneo Occidental
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-11-25)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessEn esta tesis doctoral se ha estudiado la relación de las poblaciones de peces mesopelágicos (Myctophiformes y Stomiiformes) con el medio pelágico, analizando el posible efecto de factores físicos y biológicos en su ecología ... -
A bioeconomic analysis of the coastal fishery of Pernambuco State, North-eastern Brazil
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2004-10-27)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessLos conceptos bioeconómicos modernos invocan la importancia de definir los derechos de propiedad posibles de ser llevados a cabo dentro del contexto de gestión. La investigación pesquera debe considerar las expectativas ...
