MORPHODYNAMIC MODEL TO SIMULATE SHORELINE EVOLUTION AT ANY COASTAL MOUND
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018 The work presents the results of a field and numerical study aimed to investigate the resistance and resilience, associated to an artificial shoreline perturbation, on a sandy beach. A temporary groin was deployed on a micro-tidal sea-breeze dominated beach to induce a shoreline perturbation.

Morphodynamic Model Suitable for River Flow and Wave-Current Interaction [PDF]
, 2017 Morphodynamic models are a great support in water environment management and decision-making, as well as in integrated coastal zone planning. In the present paper, a 2DH model is presented, able to deal with both currents, waves and their mutual ...

Tectonics as a Regulator of Shoreline Retreat and Rocky Coast Evolution Across Timescales
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Rocky coast morphology is shaped by interactions between wave action, sea level, and tectonics over millennial time scales. However, a clear and quantifiable signature of tectonic uplift on decadal to centennial shoreline retreat rates is outstanding.

The Role of Fluvial Morphodynamic Hierarchy in Shaping Bedform Deposits
Geophysical Research LettersFluvial cross strata are fundamental sedimentary structures that record past flow and sediment transport conditions. Bedform preservation can be significantly influenced by the presence of larger‐scale topographic features that cause spatial gradients in

Predictive model for wave-induced currents and 3D beach evolution based on FAVOR Method
International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2010 The development of a numerical model using the fractional area/volume obstacle representation (FAVOR) method for predicting a nearshore current field bounded by complicated geometric shapes, and a three-dimensional (3D) beach evolution was described in ...

Thresholds of Wave Forcing: Implications for Atoll Reef Dynamics Under Sea Level Rise
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract We investigate the response of shallow reef flow to tidal variability and wave exposure during a 4‐month field campaign in southern Huvadhu Atoll, Maldives. Incident waves breaking on steep fore reefs and reef crests generate a setup proportional to offshore wave height that drives a cross‐reef flow. We emphasize a critical threshold—where the

River Morphodynamic Evolution Under Dam-Induced Backwater: An Example from the Po River (Italy)
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 2016 River systems evolve in response to the construction of dams and artificial reservoirs, offering the possibility to investigate the short-term effects of base level oscillations on fluvial architecture.
