An Eco-Morphodynamic Modelling Approach to Estuarine Hydrodynamics & Wetlands in Response to Sea-Level Rise

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Tidal inundation is the primary driver of intertidal wetland functioning and will be affected by sea- level rise (SLR). The morphology of estuaries and friction across intertidal surfaces influences tidal propagation; accordingly, sea-level rise not only

A ten-year numerical hindcast of hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics in the Loire Estuary

Scientific Data, 2023
A numerical hindcast of the macrotidal Loire Estuary (France) has been generated to provide a long-term dataset (2008–2018) of estuarine hydrodynamics, temperature, salinity, and sediment dynamics.

Assessing the Effect of Longitudinal Density Gradient on Estuarine Hydrodynamics

Hydrology Research, 1990
If the impact of longitudinal density gradient on the hydrodynamics of estuaries is negligible, then in water quality simulations, the hydrodynamics can be decoupled from the mass transport which would lead to substantial savings in computational time and storage requirements. It is thus important to be able to assess this impact beforehand.

Estuarine hydrodynamic as a key-parameter to control eutrophication processes [PDF]

, 2009
Estuaries and coastal lagoons are commonly subjected to intensive anthropogenic stress due to massive pollutant loading from urbanised riparian areas. Nutrient enrichment is a key-factor for habitat degradation, leading to sensible structural changes in estuarine ecosystems with the consequent occurrence of eutrophication processes.

Impacts of river discharge, coastal geomorphology, and regional sea level rise on tidal dynamics in Pearl River Estuary

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionRecently, accelerated sea-level rise (SLR) has raised major concerns on estuarine management and restoration because it modifies estuarine hydrodynamics, such as tidal inundation extent and amplitude, tidal current asymmetry, flood frequency,

Evaluation of future estuarine floods in a sea level rise context

Scientific Reports, 2022
Reliable predictions of future inundation extent within estuaries require a precise evaluation of future extreme sea levels and the application of accurate numerical models that account for the physical processes driving estuarine hydrodynamics.

Impacts of a Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake on Water Levels and Wetlands of the Lower Columbia River and Estuary

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Subsidence after a subduction zone earthquake can cause major changes in estuarine bathymetry. Here, we quantify the impacts of earthquake‐induced subsidence on hydrodynamics and habitat distributions in a major system, the lower Columbia River Estuary ...

HYDRODYNAMIC MODELING OF AN INLET WITH ESTUARINE SHORELINE PROTECTION

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2023
Tidal inlets are dynamic systems, leading to engineering challenges in maintaining navigability and protecting infrastructure on adjacent shorelines. Interventions to stabilize tidal inlets are commonly used worldwide. It is known that many inlet stabilization techniques may lead to changes in the circulation and morphology of the inlet and adjacent ...

C-GEM (v 1.0): a new, cost-efficient biogeochemical model for estuaries and its application to a funnel-shaped system [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2014
Reactive transport models (RTMs) are powerful tools for disentangling the complex process interplay that drives estuarine biogeochemical dynamics, for assessing the quantitative role of estuaries in global biogeochemical cycles and for predicting their ...

Progress and Challenges in Coupled Hydrodynamic-Ecological Estuarine Modeling [PDF]

Estuaries and Coasts, 2015
Numerical modeling has emerged over the last several decades as a widely accepted tool for investigations in environmental sciences. In estuarine research, hydrodynamic and ecological models have moved along parallel tracks with regard to complexity, refinement, computational power, and incorporation of uncertainty.
