Nearshore bars are important morphologic features associated with intermediate and
dissipative natural beaches. Bars impact the direction, magnitude, and patterns of sediment …

Satellite images may constitute a useful source of information for coastal monitoring as long
as it is possible to manage them in an efficient way and to derive precise indicators of the …

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 …

Continuous collection of hydrodynamic data from the nearshore region by deploying marine
instruments is challenging, mainly because of the huge cost and risk involved in keeping …

As the biomass of pelagic Sargassum spp. increased across the North Atlantic equatorial
recirculation region from 2011 onwards, massive rafts of sargasso appeared in the Western …

A new approach to infer the bathymetry from coastal video monitoring systems is presented.
The methodology uses principal component analysis of the Hilbert transform of video …

Coastal video monitoring has been proven to be a valuable shore-based remote-sensing
technique to study coastal processes, as it offers the possibility of high-frequency …

A rip current is a strong, localized current of water which moves along and away from the
shore. Recent studies have suggested that drownings due to rip currents are still a major …

The fate of the beaches around the world has paramount importance as they are one of the
main assets for touristic activities and act as a natural barrier for coastal protection in front of …

Properly registering the time evolution of the shoreline—the coastal land-water interface—is
a crucial issue in coastal management, among other disciplines. Video stations have shown …
