A novel approach for the assessment of morphological evolution based on observed water levels in tide-dominated estuaries [PDF]
, 2020 Assessing the impacts of both natural (e.g., tidal forcing from the ocean) and human-induced changes (e.g., dredging for navigation, land reclamation) on estuarine morphology is particularly important for the protection and management of the estuarine ...

Modeling meander morphodynamics over self-formed heterogeneous floodplains [PDF]
, 2017 This work addresses the signatures embedded in the planform geometry of meandering rivers consequent to the formation of floodplain heterogeneities as the river bends migrate.

Dynamic allometry in coastal overwash morphology [PDF]
, 2020 Allometry refers to a physical principle in which geometric (and/or metabolic) characteristics of an object or organism are correlated to its size. Allometric scaling relationships typically manifest as power laws.

Journal of Maps, 2020 In this paper litho-sedimentological and morphodynamic maps of the coastal sector belonging to the Pisa Province are presented as an example of how increasing the accessibility to data on lithology, sedimentology, and morphodynamics may lead to a better ...

Nearshore oblique sand bars [PDF]
, 2003 The coupling between hydrodynamics and the evolving topography in the surf zone has been theoretically examined for oblique wave incidence. It is shown that positive feedback can lead to the initial growth of several types of rhythmic systems of sand ...

Water Science and Engineering, 2023 Understanding the sensitivity of tidal flats to environmental changes is challenging. Currently, most studies rely on process-based models to systematically explain the morphodynamic evolution of tidal flats.

Resonance and morphological stability of tidal basins [PDF]
, 1995 The paper describes the concept of a network model for the morphological behaviour of a near-resonant multiple-inlet tidal basin, as part of a model system which includes the barrier island coasts and the outer deltas. It addresses the question whether a

Backwater controls of avulsion location on deltas [PDF]
, 2012 River delta complexes are built in part through repeated river-channel avulsions, which often occur about a persistent spatial node creating delta lobes that form a fan-like morphology. Predicting the location of avulsions is poorly understood, but it is

A Computational Investigation of Storm Impacts on Estuary Morphodynamics
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019 Global climate change drives sea level rise and changes to extreme weather events, which can affect morphodynamics of coastal and estuary systems around the world.
