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.

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,

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

Cost of Preventing Thames Tidal Flood

Nature, 1970
Professor Schofield's appraisal of a recent Greater London Council report on ways of preventing the impending disaster in the flood plain of the River Thames includes the cost of risk of future loss. At present values, it appears economic to use sandbags immediately to raise the embankments.

Effect of Tidal Flooding on Mortality of Juvenile Muskrats

Estuaries and Coasts, 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 ...

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 ...

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.

The Thames tidal flood prevention scheme

Long Range Planning, 1976
Abstract In this article the author outlines the technical reasons for the decision to develop the Flood Prevention Scheme on the Thames Estuary. He then goes on to describe some aspects of the operation of the scheme which is programmed for 1980.

Flood Profiles in Combined Tidal-Freshwater Zones

Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1978
Establishing flood frequency elevations on rivers and streams is a problem of growing concern for purposes of flood-plain management and regulation. Many Federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as private enterprise, are involved in flood-plain studies.
