Litho-sedimentological and morphodynamic characterization of the Pisa Province coastal area (northern Tuscany, Italy)

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 ...

Morphodynamic signatures derived from daily surface elevation dynamics can explain the morphodynamic development of tidal flats

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.

Multidecadal Morphodynamic evolution of shorelines and coral reefs along the Arabian Sea Coast of Oman: Bar Al Hikman Peninsula

Journal of Coastal Conservation
This study examines the morphodynamic evolution of the shoreline and coral reef coverage along the Arabian Sea coast of Oman over the past five decades (1972–2022).

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.

River, delta and coastal morphological response accounting for biological dynamics [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015
Management and construction can increase resilience in the face of climate change, and benefits can be enhanced through integration of biogenic materials including shells and vegetation.

The evolution and morphodynamic characteristics of shoals and troughs in Lingdingyang Bay of the Pearl River Estuary

Frontiers in Marine Science
Shoals and troughs are the fundamental geomorphological units of estuarine systems. However, their definition and morphodynamic characteristics, influenced by the complex dynamic environment, remain a critical challenge. This work introduces a depth–area

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
