Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2015 The physics of dunes relies on the interaction between a wind flow and an erodible topography. Thus, if strong enough to transport grains, the wind shapes sandy areas into dune fields. These dunes are reminiscent of a wavy sea so that sandy deserts are called sand seas. However, the comparison stops there.

A quantitative criterion to predict the occurrence of tidal bores [PDF]
, 2018 -Tidal bores are fascinating phenomena that occurs in the estuary of many tidal rivers worldwide. -Tidal bores have significant repercussions on ecology and morphodynamics of an estuary.

Morphodynamic Profiling of Protrusion Phenotypes [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2006 We propose a framework for tracking arbitrary complex cell boundary movements, relying on a unique definition of protrusion and retraction as the pathlength a virtual edge marker traverses when moving continuously perpendicular to the cell boundary. We introduce the level set method as a numerical scheme to reconstruct continuous boundary movement in ...

Seasonal behaviour of tidal damping and residual water level slope in the Yangtze River estuary: identifying the critical position and river discharge for maximum tidal damping [PDF]
, 2019 As a tide propagates into the estuary, river discharge affects tidal damping, primarily via a friction term, attenuating tidal motion by increasing the quadratic velocity in the numerator, while reducing the effective friction by increasing the water ...

, 2022 In this work the connection between curvature, the emergence of the universe, and the process of morphogenesis is investigated in detail. We have come a long way from general relativity using differential geometry, which describes the curvature of space-time as an emergent phenomena, to the more recent theory of loop quantum gravity using non-geometric

Remote sensing of tidal networks and their relation to vegetation [PDF]
, 2004 The study of the morphology of tidal networks and their relation to salt marsh vegetation is currently an active area of research, and a number of theories have been developed which require validation using extensive observations. Conventional methods of

Long term behaviour of singularly perturbed parabolic degenerated equation [PDF]
, 2011 In this paper we consider models for short-term, mean-term and long-term morphodynamics of dunes and megariples. We give an existence and uniqueness result for long term dynamics of dunes.

On how spatial variations of channel width influence river profile curvature
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Longitudinal profiles of alluvial rivers usually exhibit upward‐concave curvatures at equilibrium. River profile concavity has been primarily attributed to sediment downstream fining and to streamwise increments of water discharge.

Remote sensing of intertidal morphological change in Morecambe Bay, U.K., between 1991 and 2007 [PDF]
, 2010 Tidal Flats are important examples of extensive areas of natural environment that remain relatively unaffected by man. Monitoring of tidal flats is required for a variety of purposes. Remote sensing has become an established technique for the measurement
