Control of wind-wave power on morphological shape of salt marsh margins

open access: yesWater Science and Engineering, 2020
Salt marshes are among the most common morphological features found in tidal landscapes and provide ecosystem services of primary ecological and economic importance. However, the continued rise in relative sea level and increasing anthropogenic pressures

Extraction of tidal channel networks from airborne scanning laser altimetry and aerial photography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The study of the morphodynamics of tidal channel networks is important because of their role in tidal propagation and the evolution of salt-marshes and tidal flats. Channel dimensions range from tens of metres wide and metres deep near the low water mark

On the modelling of biological effects on morphology in estuaries and seas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Morphological modelling aims to explain and predict the changes in rivers, seas and estuaries due to these interaction. In recent history, a lot of progress has been made, especially with stability analysis approaches.

3D Dune Skeleton Model as a Coupled Dynamical System of 2D Cross-Sections

open access: yes, 2010
To analyze theoretically the stability of the shape and the migration process of transverse dunes and barchans, we propose a {\it skeleton model} of 3D dunes described with coupled dynamics of 2D cross-sections.

Acceleration of Morphodynamic Simulations Based on Local Trends in the Bed Evolution

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
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,

Modeling Seasonal Variations of Sediment Transport and Morphological Changes in Delta Ecosystem: A Case Study of the Wulan Delta, Indonesia

open access: yesIlmu Kelautan
The suspended sediment from the Serang River plays a crucial role in the development of the Wulan Delta. This study employs the open-source DELFT3D model to investigate seasonal hydrodynamics, sediment distribution, and morphodynamic changes in the delta.

Morphodynamic Evolution of Post-Nourishment Beach Scarps in Low-Energy and Micro-Tidal Environment

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Beach scarps are commonly associated with nourishment. Large and persistent beach scarps not only affect the performance of beach nourishment, but also are safety hazards to tourists.
