Abstract Estuaries provide vital ecosystem services, but the communities and ecosystems they support are increasingly threatened by flooding driven by climate change and sea level rise. Hard‐engineering solutions like levees, seawalls, river diversions, and storm‐surge barriers help mitigate flooding risk, but their combined operation within the same ...

NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS OF COASTAL MORPHODYNAMIC EVOLUTION FOR COMPLEX TOPOGRAPHY
Numerical modeling of coastal morphodynamic evolution is a powerful tool for the planning and design of coastal engineering. The coastal morphological modeling system is based on the sediment conservation law, which couples modules for waves, wave-driven currents, and sediment transport rates.

Comparing the Sensitivity of Bank Retreat to Changes in Biophysical Conditions between Two Contrasting River Reaches Using a Coupled Morphodynamic Model [PDF]
Morphodynamic models of river meandering patterns and dynamics are based on the premise that the integration of biophysical processes matching those operating in natural rivers should result in a better fit with observations.

ABSTRACT Mixed beaches containing anthropogenic geomaterials such as bricks, concrete, glass, ceramics, tarmac and slag are globally understudied. These materials enter natural beach systems through erosion or dumping, and rising sea levels and increased storminess are expected to intensify coastal erosion, reworking and re‐exposing previously dumped ...

Rivers inherently show heterogeneous sediment sizes and can also show a strong sediment supply variability in time because of natural episodic events or as a consequence of human activities, which alter the characteristics and dynamics of alluvial bars ...

The Modern Yellow River Delta has a rich history of geomorphological transformations shaped by frequent avulsions and rapid progradation. However, the delta entered a phase of altered morphodynamics following the construction of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir,

Process-based indicators to assess storm induced coastal hazards [PDF]
Storms are responsible for several hazards (e.g. overwash, erosion, inundation) in coastal areas, leading to the destruction of property and loss of life in populated areas.

Empirical Geomorphic Approach to Complement Morphodynamic Modeling on Embayed Beaches
In a coastal engineering project, hydrodynamic models are used to study wave transformations and impacts on structures, while morphodynamic models are applied to calculate the response and evolution of sedimentary beaches.
