A novel approach for the assessment of morphological evolution based on observed water levels in tide-dominated estuaries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Assessing the impacts of both natural (e.g., tidal forcing from the ocean) and human-induced changes (e.g., dredging for navigation, land reclamation) on estuarine morphology is particularly important for the protection and management of the estuarine ...

Alignments of Voids in the Cosmic Web [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We investigate the shapes and mutual alignment of voids in the large scale matter distribution of a LCDM cosmology simulation. The voids are identified using the novel WVF void finder technique.

Immense variability in the sea surface temperature near macro tidal flat revealed by high-resolution satellite data (Landsat 8)

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Sea surface temperature (SST) is crucial for understanding the physical characteristics and ecosystems of coastal seas. SST varies near the tidal flat, where exposure and flood recur according to the tidal cycle.

Power Extraction Strategy of a Robust kW Range Marine Tidal Turbine Based on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators and Passive Rectifiers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This paper presents a kW range marine tidal current power generation system consisting of a fixed pitch marine current turbine (MCT) with two permanent magnet synchronous generators in the turbine shaft, two diode rectifiers (each rectifier is associated

Tidal Power in the UK and Worldwide to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering Business Management, 2011
This paper discusses the role of Tidal Power in the UK in fulfilling the UK's requirements for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Generating electricity from tidal range of the Severn Estuary has the potential to generate some 5% of UK electricity from a

Numerical Modelling of Oil Spill Transport in Tide-Dominated Estuaries: A Case Study of Humber Estuary, UK

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Oil spills in estuaries are less studied and less understood than their oceanic counterparts. To address this gap, we present a detailed analysis of estuarine oil spill transport.

Susceptibility of Tidal Pool Fish Assemblages to Climate Change

open access: yesEcologies, 2022
There is a need for improved understanding of how climate-change driven rises in sea level and increased ocean temperatures will affect fish assemblages in rocky shore tidal pools.

Tidal pattern instabilities on multi-moon planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The equilibrium tide-generating forces in the lunar orbital plane of a planet of radius R are calculated for the case of N moons of mass M_i orbiting the planet at instantaneous polar coordinates (D_i, \alpha_i).

Between tide and wave marks: a unifying model of physical zonation on littoral shores [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2013
The effects of tides on littoral marine habitats are so ubiquitous that shorelines are commonly described as ‘intertidal’, whereas waves are considered a secondary factor that simply modifies the intertidal habitat.

An Eco-Morphodynamic Modelling Approach to Estuarine Hydrodynamics & Wetlands in Response to Sea-Level Rise

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Tidal inundation is the primary driver of intertidal wetland functioning and will be affected by sea- level rise (SLR). The morphology of estuaries and friction across intertidal surfaces influences tidal propagation; accordingly, sea-level rise not only
