Tidal currents and mixing in the Lake Maracaibo estuarine system

Scientia Marina, 2001
The Lake Maracaibo estuarine system is a cooscillating coupled ocean-lake system connected through a partially mixed estuary. In this paper we examine the low frequency movements (w < 0.1 cycles/day) in the different water bodies within this system.

Estuarine crocodiles ride surface currents to facilitate long‐distance travel [PDF]

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2010
Summary 1. The estuarine crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) is the world’s largest living reptile. It predominately inhabits freshwater and estuarine habitats, but widespread geographic distribution throughout oceanic islands of the South‐east Pacific suggests that individuals undertake sizeable ocean voyages. 2. Here we show that adult C.

Do vegetated intertidal areas alter currents on an estuarine scale? [PDF]

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science
Intertidal areas often host tidal marsh vegetation, which plays a crucial role in influencing hydrodynamic processes. This study investigates the influence of saltmarsh vegetation on fringing and mid-channel flats on currents in the Western Scheldt, the Netherlands.

Measurement of ship-generated waves in German coastal waterways from 1998–2022 [PDF]

Scientific Data
Vessel-generated waves and currents significantly impact coastal and estuarine waterways. In-situ measurements record all relevant physical phenomena that occur under a wide range of conditions and are therefore a valuable resource in the investigation ...

Effect of estuarine dam location and discharge interval on estuarine hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics, and morphodynamics

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The effect of an estuarine dam located near the mouth for a range of estuarine types (strongly stratified, partially mixed, periodically stratified, and well-mixed) has been studied using a numerical model of an idealized estuary.

A Wet/Dry Point Treatment Method of FVCOM, Part II: Application to the Okatee/Colleton River in South Carolina

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
The wet/dry point treatment method of FVCOM was applied to simulate the tide-induced flooding/drying process in the estuarine–tidal-creek–saltmarsh complex of the Okatee/Colleton River Estuary, South Carolina.

Factors structuring estuarine and coastal fish communities across Japan using environmental DNA metabarcoding

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Estuarine and coastal ecosystems are important habitats for many fish species. Large-scale patterns of estuarine and coastal fish communities can be affected by geographical factors, such as water temperature and latitude, that limit or allow fish ...

Tidal Currents and Their Reshaping Impact on Estuarine Morphology

Academia Open, 2023
The Selagan Jaya River Estuary frequently undergoes shape changes, prompting this study to unravel the influence of currents and tides on its morphological evolution. Field measurements encompassing current and tidal data, supplemented by secondary tidal data from TMD and estuary morphology data from USGS, were employed.

Relative contribution of the presence of an estuarine dam and land reclamation to sediment dynamics of the Nakdong Estuary

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The Nakdong Estuary of Korea is a dramatic example of an urban estuary that has been heavily developed with the installation of two estuarine dams and approximately 17 km2 of tidal flat reclamation. This study aims to understand the relative contribution

Understanding Hg distribution in sediments from the Santos and São Vicente Estuarine System, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Trace Elements and Minerals, 2022
The Santos and São Vicente Estuarine System (SSVES) is a region with significant economic importance in southeastern Brazil. It contains petrochemical and metallurgical industrial complexes and the largest commercial harbor in South America, which have ...
