Changes in beach shoreline due to sea level rise and waves under climate change scenarios: application to the Balearic Islands (western Mediterranean) [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017
This work assesses the impacts in reshaping coastlines as a result of sea level rise and changes in wave climate. The methodology proposed combines the SWAN and SWASH wave models to resolve the wave processes from deep waters up to the swash zone in ...

Barred-beach morphological control on infragravity motion [PDF]

, 2012
A conceptual analysis of the coupling between bars and infragravity waves is performed combining laboratory experiments and numerical modeling. Experiments are carried out in a wave flume with a barred profile. The Boussinesq fully-nonlinear model SERR1D

Composition, structure and zonation of intertidal macrofauna in relation to physical factors in microtidal sandy beaches at Río de Janeiro State, Brazil

Scientia Marina, 2003
The intertidal macroinfauna of fiftheen exposed sandy beaches located in Rio de Janeiro State was studied to determine species richness, density, biomass and zonation. Morphodynamic influence on biological parameters is also evaluated in this paper. Dean´

The Tricky Task of Fisher-Gardener Research in Conservation Paleobiology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The study of sambaquis (ancient shell mounds) in conservation paleobiology is a complicated subject, especially when comparing body sizes of current and past mollusk valves to observe possible changes. There is a lack of information regarding how ancient

Numerical Simulation of Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport in the Surf and Swash Zone Using OpenFOAM^®

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
This study focuses on the numerical investigation of the 3D hydrodynamic processes of coastal zones such as wave breaking, wave-induced currents, and sediment transport, using the multiphase, interFoam solver of OpenFOAM® (a state-of-the-art, open-source

NUMERICAL MODELING OF SWASH ZONE MORPHOLOGICAL PROCESSES IN COARSE-GRAINED BEACHES WITH XBEACH OPEN-SOURCE MODEL [PDF]

مهندسی عمران شریف
The swash zone and its processes are significant in a beach system due to their considerable effects on beach hydrodynamics, morphodynamics, and ecosystems, including beach flows, aquifers, and sediment transport. Developing efficient numerical models to

An equilibrium profile model for tidal environments

Scientia Marina, 2002
During a full tidal cycle, the beach profile is exposed to continuously changing hydrodynamical conditions. Consequently, the profile evolves constantly to adapt to these changes.

Temporal variability of benthic macrofauna on Cassino beach, southernmost Brazil

Iheringia: Série Zoologia, 2008
The temporal variability of benthic macrofauna on Cassino beach, southernmost Brazil, was studied for a period of one year (June 2004 to May 2005) based on monthly sampling. Three sites were selected distant 50m from each other. At each site, 3 transects
