An integrated management of the coastal zone has to be supported by the knowledge of the forcing physical processes and the ability of prediction the morphological evolution at different time scales. In beach protection ...

A gestão integrada da zona costeira debate-se com grandes problemas relacionados com a dinâmica sedimentar das embocaduras estuarinas e lagunares, associados à sua migração, ao seu fecho ocasional ou frequente e ao seu ...

Pretende-se, com este estudo, avaliar o impacte de uma extracção de inertes realizada ao largo de Vale do Lobo na evolução da linha de costa entre Quarteira e o Ancão. Considerou-se o regime de agitação marítima obtido na ...

Portuguese coasts exhibit many complex and contrasting tidal inlets of economic and environmental relevance. Due to the strong dynamics of these inlets, associated to a severe wave climate and a meso-tidal range, the ...

Ocean surface gravity waves play a major role in many engineering and environmental problems, both in the open ocean and in coastal zones. Therefore, it is essential to improve our knowledge on spatial and temporal variability ...

The environmental and economical consequences of an oil spill near coastal areas lead to an increasing effort by governments and the oil industry to develop tools, such as oil spill modeling systems, that could be used to ...

Ten numerical schemes to reduce spurious oscillations in transport simulations were implemented and tested in an Eulerian-Lagrangian control volume finite element model. The schemes included both new and existing Flux ...
