Morphodynamic Hierarchy and the Fabric of the Sedimentary Record
The low temporal completeness of fluvial strata could indicate that recorded events represent unusual and extreme conditions. However, field observations suggest that preserved strata predominantly record relatively common transport conditions—a paradox ...

Acceleration of Morphodynamic Simulations Based on Local Trends in the Bed Evolution
Due to the significant mismatch in timescales associated with morphological and hydrodynamic processes in coastal environments, modellers typically resort to various techniques for speeding up the bed evolution in morphodynamic simulations. In this paper,

L’AEROFOTOTECA NAZIONALE RACCONTA….. MULTI-TEMPORAL PHOTOINTERPRETATION
Aerial photographs, if taken to allow a stereoscopic vision, can increase the physical and anthropic information of terrestrial survey acquired by means of direct field surveying. The synoptic view from above even of vast areas shows, almost immediately,

Formation of offshore tidal sandbanks triggered by a gasmined bed subsidence [PDF]
Offshore gasmining is an example of a human intervention with a morphological impact. On land, it is usually attended with a dish-like bed depression.

A parameterization of flow separation over subaqueous dunes [PDF]
Flow separation plays a key role in the development of dunes, and modeling the complicated flow behavior inside the flow separation zone requires much computational effort.

Role of the forcing sources in morphodynamic modelling of an embayed beach [PDF]
The sensitivity of a 2DH coastal area (XBeach) and a reduced-complexity (Q2Dmorfo) morphodynamic model to using different forcing sources is studied.

ENSEMBLE PREDICTION OF MEGA-NOURISMENT MORPHODYNAMIC EVOLUTION
Mega-nourishment is an innovative soft coastal protection method (Stive et al., 2013) which was applied for first time in 2011 in the Netherlands. Although conventional nourishments are considerably smaller in size, and designed to maintain their sediment volume to the specific site of their application for as long as possible, mega-nourishments are ...

A Methodological Approach to Determine Sound Response Modalities to Coastal Erosion Processes in Mediterranean Andalusia (Spain) [PDF]
Human occupation along coastal areas has been greatly increasing in recent decades and, in many places, human activities and infrastructures are threatened by erosion processes that can produce relevant economic and human losses.
