Modelling of wave climate and sediment transport patterns at a tideless embayed beach, Pirita Beach, Estonia [PDF]

, 2008
Nearshore sand transport patterns along the tideless, embayed Pirita beach, Tallinn, Estonia, have been investigated utilizing high-resolution modelling of wave processes combined with bathymetric surveys and sediment textural analyses of the nearshore ...

Non-uniformity of storm impacts on three high-energy embayed beaches [PDF]

Journal of Coastal Research, 2014
Coastal storms are highly significant and destructive events and important natural hazards that have major impacts upon the physical and human-cultural coastline environments. Exceptional coastal storms in the last decades have emphasized the urgent need to reinforce scientific knowledge regarding the frequency, impact and role of these extreme events.

Interstitial microbial communities of coastal sediments are dominated by Nanoarchaeota

Frontiers in Microbiology
Microbial communities in subsurface coastal sediments are highly diverse and play an important role in nutrient cycling. While the major fraction of microorganisms in sandy sediments lives as epipsammon (attached to sand grains), only a small fraction ...

Field-scale modelling reveals dynamic groundwater flow and transport patterns in a high-energy subterranean estuary [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
Subterranean estuaries (STEs) are biogeochemical reactors modifying the chemistry of salt- and freshwater as they flow through the subsurface sediments.

Eutectic Gallium‐Indium as a Potential Non‐Toxic Replacement in Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A practical alternative to mercury intrusion porosimetry is presented using non‐oxidized eutectic gallium‐indium. An eGaIn Filling Station enables oxygen‐free preparation of standard penetrometers, and the resulting measurements faithfully reproduce pore‐size distributions and intrusion volumes measured with mercury across several standard reference ...

Multidata Study to Evaluate the Impact of Submarine Outfall in a Beach Sedimentary Dynamic: The Case of Samil Beach (Galicia, Spain)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
The Ria de Vigo (NW Iberian Peninsula) is one of the most impacted coastal areas of Galicia, due to demographic and industrial pressure. One of the main consequences of this pressure is the need to extend the current wastewater treatment plant of the ...
