Climate change and coastal morphodynamics: Interactions on regional scales

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2023
Climate change and its impacts, combined with unchecked human activities, intensify pressures on coastal environments, resulting in modification of the coastal morphodynamics. Coastal zones are intricate and constantly changing areas, making the monitoring and interpretation of data a challenging task, especially in remote beaches and regions with ...

The impacts of wave energy conversion on coastal morphodynamics

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
In recent decades, utilization of renewable energy resources, including ocean waves, has been promoted as part of a global effort to transition away from the use of fossil fuels. This is largely due to the accompanying greenhouse gas emissions and its catastrophic impacts on the environment, which are expected to worsen with the changing climate ...

Exploiting the Capabilities of Surfcam for Coastal Morphodynamic Analysis

Journal of Coastal Research, 2020
Valentini, N.; Balouin, Y., and Bouvier, C., 2020. Exploiting the capabilities of Surfcam for coastal morphodynamic analysis. A free webcam network is used in this study, operated by ©Viewsurf, a European company with more than 1200 stations in France, among beaches, urban and mountain areas in order to assess the capabilities of surfcam for coastal ...

Applicability of a coastal morphodynamic model for fluvial environments

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2016
The dominant processes of sediment transport and morphological changes are different between rivers and coastal areas. In many situations rivers, estuaries and coasts need to be modelled together in an integrated way. This paper investigates the capability of a freely available, open source, coastal morphodynamic software (XBeach) to estimate sediment ...

Coastal morphodynamic evolution techniques

Coastal Engineering, 2006
Abstract In this paper different strategies of morphological updating, as an important component of integrated modelling, are discussed, starting with the classical ‘tide-averaging’ approach in combination with the ‘continuity correction.’ An extension of the ‘continuity correction’ method, the so-called ‘RAM’ method, is then discussed.

Coastal Morphodynamics in Subsiding Areas

1998
he coastline evolution for 3 sites along the Northern Adriatic was simulated by numerical modeling of the sediment transport mechanisms. The effects of relative sea level changes and external sediment sources such as fluvial sediment input and nourishments are included in the analysis.

Coastal Morphodynamics and Ecosystem Dynamics

2018
The shape of the land and the processes that mold the land are mutually interconnected and change together as a complex system. The coupled suites of mutually-inter-dependent hydrodynamic, biologic and anthropogenic processes, seafloor and landscape morphologies interact to cause time-dependent sequences of change.

Remote sensing and coastal morphodynamic modelling

2018 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for the Sea; Learning to Measure Sea Health Parameters (MetroSea), 2018
We investigate the use of remotely sensed data, coupled with numerical simulation for marine currents, to provide assessment of shoreline morphodynamics. We present here our findings about sediment transport dynamics and, in particular, on local divergence of sediment flux, and its relation to coastal erosion in the Adriatic sea.

Numerical Simulations of Coastal-Tract Morphodynamics

Coastal Dynamics '01, 2001
A finitv difference nttrnedcal model has been developed to represent the large-scale morphodynamics of complex coastal systems. The model is based on the Coastal System Tract (CST) concept. This model contains representations of coastal features such as tidal inlets, bays and rivers, beach systems (including littoral drift and profile migration), as ...
