Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016 Estuarine processes are directly related to the interaction of its forcing conditions with the local morphology. In this study we assess the implications of the opening of a new inlet on the hydrodynamics and suspended sediment concentration (SSC). A set

Hydrodynamic Model Ensembles for Climate Change Projections in Estuarine Regions
Water, 2022 In the current context of climate change, understanding the effects of the changing conditions on estuaries is of utmost importance to protect populations and ecosystems. Given the diversity of impacts depending on the region, there is a need for local and dedicated studies to understand and mitigate the risks. Numerical models can provide forecasts of

Improving Estuarine Hydrodynamic Forecasts Through Numerical Model Ensembles
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Numerical models are essential tools for the study and analysis of the hydrodynamics of estuarine systems. However, the model results contain uncertainties, which need to be minimized to increase the accuracy of predictions.
