Work undertaken in the EU HUMOR project on morphodynamical modelling, particularly with regard to simulating and understanding rhythmic surf zone bars and related morphodynamic self-organization, is presented. These features ...

This trans-disciplinary work combines modeling and observational approaches and offers a unique dataset to study the behaviour of a wide estuary linear sandbank over different time-scales. The sandbank studied, the Longe ...

This study investigates the annual and inter-annual longshore transport at a high-energy dissipative beach (St. Trojan, SW Ole´ron Island, France), over the period 1997–2006. This study is divided in two parts: (1) a ...

Zooplankton plays a fundamental role in the estuarine food web. Thus, understanding the factors that affect the distribution of estuarine zooplankton is of major concern for the management of estuaries. An integrated ...

As centrais termoeléctricas são frequentemente construídas em zonas costeiras de forma a utilizarem a água do mar para arrefecimento. Esta água é captada junto à costa, e rejeitada numa zona próxima a temperaturas mais ...

Apresenta-se uma panorâmica geral sobre os principais problemas relacionados com a fisiografia costeira e as principais técnicas de protecção da orla costeira. Referem-se os processos físicos responsáveis pela dinâmica ...

The dynamics of the Aveiro lagoon is assessed through a combination of field data and numerical modeling. An unstructured grid hydrodynamic model is set-up for this system for the first time and its results compare well ...
