Assessing the degree of tidal flood damage to salt harvesting landscape using synthetic approach and GIS - Case study: Cirebon, West Java

, 2021
Tidal flood implications for agricultural areas have been relatively neglected in research due to their relatively low economic values. Nevertheless, many rural coastal communities are facing these types of floods regularly, especially salt harvesters ...

Tidal dynamics in a changing lagoon: Flooding or not flooding the marginal regions

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2015
Abstract Coastal lagoons are low-lying systems under permanent changes motivated by natural and anthropogenic factors. Ria de Aveiro is such an example with its margins currently threatened by the advance of the lagoonal waters recorded during the last decades. This work aims to study the tidal modifications found between 1987 and 2012 in this lagoon,

Organic matter and nutrient removal in tidal flow-based microbial fuel cell constructed wetlands: Media and flood-dry period ratio

, 2021
This study assessed the integrated impact of tidal flow, microbial fuel cell (MFC), flood (F)-dry (D) period ratio, and media on organic matter, nutrient removal pathways in subsurface flow constructed wetlands that received municipal wastewater.

Flood Tidal Delta in a New Barrier Island Tidal Inlet

Environmental & Engineering Geoscience, 1980
A new tidal inlet was opened between Core Sound and the Atlantic Ocean in North Carolina by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in December 1971. A study was initiated at the new inlet: (1) to evaluate the response of the flood tidal delta (flood shoal) to ocean currents, (2) to investigate the growth pattern of the flood tidal delta, and (3) to develop a

Effects of Tidal Flooding on Juvenile Willows

Estuaries and Coasts, 2015
Tidal wetlands are affected by sea level rise. In the tidal freshwater stretches of estuaries in the temperate zone, willows (Salix spp.) form tidal freshwater forests above the mean high water level. Willows tolerance to prolonged periodic flooding in riverine systems is well documented, whereas effects of tidal flooding on willows are largely unknown.

Effect of Tidal Flooding on Mortality of Juvenile Muskrats

Estuaries, 1990
The effect of tidal flooding on survival of juvenile muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) was investigated in a brackish marsh in Louisiana by examining 50 muskrat lodges each month from July 1984 to June 1985 and tidal data over a 19-yr period. Tide levels increased at a rate of 1.58 cm yr−1 during the 19-yr period prior to the study, and during the study ...

A global exploration of tidal wetland creation for nature-based flood risk mitigation in coastal cities

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2019
Coastal cities around the world are increasingly exposed to flood risks due to climate change, resulting sea level rise and more intense storm surges as well as due to growing coastal population densities and land subsidence. Nature-based risk mitigation,

Tidal distortions and flood dominance at five small tidal inlets in southern Maine

Marine Geology, 1988
Maximum and mean flood current velocities exceeded ebb current velocities by an average of more than 20 cm s−1 at five small inlets along the southern coast of Maine. Distortion of the tidal wave as it interacts with these shallow inlets, such that the rising tide duration averages 3:22 h less than the falling tide duration, may be the cause of flood ...

Assessing the relative contributions of the flood tide and the ebb tide to tidal channel network dynamics

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2019
Flood and ebb currents provide different contributions to the initiation and evolution of tidal channel networks, generating diverse network structures and channel cross‐sections.

Slowing down the tidal flood wave is the key to reducing tidal flood risk in estuaries worldwide

Estuaries worldwide are expected to suffer increasing tidal flood risk due to climate change. Climate change is causing sea-level to rise and storm frequency and severity to increase, inducing more frequent tidal floods in estuaries, where most of the world’s largest cities are located.
