Effects of sea level rise on salinity and tidal flooding patterns in the Guadiana Estuary [PDF]
Sea level rise is a worldwide concern as a high percentage of the population is located in coastal areas. The focus of this study is the impact of sea level rise in the Guadiana Estuary, an estuary in the Iberian Peninsula formed at the interface of the ...

An ecohydrology model of the Guadiana Estuary (South Portugal) [PDF]
A 1-D ecohydrology model is proposed that integrates physical, chemical and biological processes in the Guadiana Estuary during low flow conditions and that predicts the ecosystem health as determined by the following variables: river discharge ...

Simonsenia aveniformis sp. nov. (Bacillariophyceae), molecular phylogeny and systematics of the genus, and a new type of canal raphe system. [PDF]
The genus Simonsenia is reviewed and S. aveniformis described as new for science by light and electron microscopy. The new species originated from estuarine environments in southern Iberia (Atlantic coast) and was isolated into culture. In LM, Simonsenia

Calculated Potential Bedload Versus Real Transported Sands along the Guadiana River Estuary (Spain–Portugal) [PDF]
The Guadiana estuary is a coastal system located in the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula and is the natural border between Portugal and Spain. It is a rock-bounded estuary which extends along more than 40 km and is characterized by a semidiurnal ...

Postglacial sea-level rise and sedimentar response in the Guadiana Estuary, Portugal/Spain border [PDF]
The study of sedimentological features, foraminifera and molluscan fauna in samples recovered from four rotary boreholes permitted, after 14C dating, the first assessment of the post-glacial transgression in Guadiana River Estuary.

Frictional interactions between tidal constituents in tide-dominated estuaries [PDF]
When different tidal constituents propagate along an estuary, they interact because of the presence of nonlinear terms in the hydrodynamic equations. In particular, due to the quadratic velocity in the friction term, the effective friction experienced

Physical characterization of the Guadiana Estuary using a 3D model [PDF]
Guadiana estuary is an intertidal estuary situated in SW of Iberian Península, the latest 50 Km of which constitutes the natural border between Spain and Portugal. Tidal influence extends to about 80 Km upstream.
