Estuaries and tidal embayments are partly enclosed coastal bodies of water with a free
connection to the open sea at their tidal inlet and with minimal (tidal embayments) or …

Asymmetry in the tide (unequal ebb and flood duration) is a dominant factor in causing
residual sediment transport and morphological changes in estuaries. The evolution of …

The current paradigm is that salt marshes and their important ecosystem services are
threatened by global climate change; indeed, large marsh losses have been documented …

Understanding tidal dynamics in shallow estuaries is of paramount importance to assess the
influence of the parameters control them. In the present study, a comprehensive analysis of …

Flood/ebb tidal dominance plays a pivotal role in estuarine sediment transport. The Dyfi
Estuary, mid-Wales, UK, is used as a case study, together with an idealized trumpet-shaped …

Situated in the eastern coastal state of West Bengal, the Sundarbans Estuarine System
(SES) is India's largest monsoonal, macro-tidal delta-front estuarine system. It comprises the …

This paper provides an overview of the geomorphological characteristics of UK estuaries
and the factors which control them. Many of the features included in previous classifications …

The last five years have been marked by rapid technological and analytical developments in
the study of shore processes and in the comprehension of shore deposits and forms, and …

Extensive loss of salt marshes in back‐barrier tidal embayments is ongoing worldwide as a
consequence of land‐use changes, wave‐driven lateral marsh erosion, and relative sea …

It is often assumed that, in short, shallow estuaries, at leading order velocity and elevation
are exactly out of phase, so that duration asymmetries in the rise and fall of the tide should …
