Characterization of the Morphological Behavior of a Sand Spit Using UAVs

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Sand spits are common in wave-dominated environments; with enough sand supply, they can evolve to affect circulation and navigation in channels or inlets. The focus of this paper is on the navigation channel of the Sisal Port, located on the northwestern

Three new species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) and Acaulospora gedanensis revised [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Studies of the morphology and the 45S nuc rDNA phylogeny of three potentially undescribed arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (phylum Glomeromycota) grown in cultures showed that one of these fungi is a new species of the genus Diversispora in the family ...

Following the Sand Grains

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
When longshore transport systems encounter tidal inlets, complex mechanisms are involved in bypassing sand to downdrift barriers. Here, this process is examined at Plum Island Sound and Essex Inlets, Massachusetts, USA.

SATELLITE-BASED LAND/SEA CONTINUUM: AN APPLICATION TO MONITOR THE SAINT LOUIS COAST (SENEGAL, WEST AFRICA) [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2022
The historical city of Saint Louis in Senegal is situated on the Langue de Barbarie sand spit and is particularly prone to erosion: buildings have collapsed and population relocated due to shoreline retreat.

Hydrodynamics and Sediment-Transport Pathways along a Mixed-Energy Spit-Inlet System: A Modeling Study at Chincoteague Inlet (Virginia, USA)

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Tidal-inlet systems are dynamic features that respond to short-term (e.g., storms) and longer-term processes (e.g., sea-level rise, changes in tidal prism).
