Microfungal diversity in the swash zone interstitial water (SZIW) of three Ligurian urban beaches (NW, Italy)

open access: yesItalian Journal of Mycology, 2017
Microfungal species abundance and specific composition of three urban beaches near Genoa (Liguria, NW Italy) in the swash zone interstitial water (SZIW) were evaluated. These beaches are characterized by a high presence of tourists. The investigation was

WAVE PERIOD AND THE SWASH ZONE ENERGY BALANCE

open access: yesCoastal Engineering Proceedings, 1968
The shape sorting of pebbles in the swash zone was studied in an effort to determine the effect of the amount of foreshore infiltration per wave on the swash zone energy balance. Measurements were made of pebbles collected from the swash limit and from the step of selected sandy beaches.

Relationship between high-frequency sediment-level oscillations in the swash zone and inner surf zone wave characteristics under calm wave conditions

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2016
Swash zone topography rapidly responds to the surf zone waves. Understanding how sandy beaches respond to wave action is critical for beach erosion research, and plays a critical role in the design and maintenance of shore protection structures. The main

Motion of water and sediment due to non-breaking waves in the swash zone

open access: yesOceanologia, 2012
A long wave run-up theory is applied to the modelling of wave-induced flow velocities, sediment transport rates and bottom changes in a swash zone. First, the properties of the water tongue motion and the resulting lithodynamic response are analysed ...

Nested Radar Systems for Remote Coastal Observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Advances in radar technology now allow the observation of sea surface features at multiple scales, from kilometers, down to metres. In the same manner that nested models are used at different resolutions, nested radars of different frequencies can be ...

Swash zone morphodynamics

open access: yes, 2003
The morphodynamical evolution of four beaches in Europe have been monitored during swash processes, together with the fluctuations of the water table and the recording of the hydrodynamical conditions.

Surf and Swash Zone Dynamics from High-Frequency Observations at a Microtidal Low-Energy Dissipative Beach

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
This study examines the surf and swash zone dynamics of a microtidal, low-energy, dissipative beach in Kos Island, Greece, using high-frequency optical monitoring with a Beach Optical Monitoring System (BOMS) and in situ wave measurements during the ...

LANDSAT application of remote sensing to shoreline-form analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
The author has identified the following significant results. LANDSAT imagery of the southern end of Assateague Island, Virginia, was enlarged to 1:80,000 and compared with high altitude (1:130,000) and low altitude (1:24,000) aerial photography in an ...

Prediction of overwash in alongshore variable barrier islands [Previsão da ocorrência de galgamentos em ilhas barreira com variabilidade longilitoral] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Overwash prediction is very important for coastal zone management. This work intends to identify alongshore variations in storm impact and evaluate the role of sub-aerial and submerged morphologies in overwash occurrence.
