The impacts of seawater acidification and salinity shifts on metabolism, energy reserves, and
oxidative status of mussels have been largely neglected. With the aim to increase the current …

This work analyses the distribution of living benthic foraminiferal assemblages of surface
sediments in different intertidal areas of Ria de Aveiro (Portugal), a polihaline and …

It is of global interest, for the definition of effective adaptation strategies, to make an
assessment of climate change impacts in coastal environments. In this study, the salinity …

This paper presents the structure and application of a regional scale operational modelling
tool for the West Iberian coast, and discusses its potential for products and services for both …

Coastal floods are currently a strong threat to socioeconomic activities established on the
margins of lagoons and estuaries, as well as to their ecological equilibrium, a situation that …

The interaction between tide, river runoff, and wind in coastal lagoons induces complex
salinity gradients, which are remarkable when the meteorological forcing is exacerbated …

Ria de Aveiro, which is located in the centre of Portugal (40° 38′ N, 8° 45′ W), is a well-
mixed and complex coastal lagoon that is separated from the sea by a sandy barrier and …

Shallow-water coastal areas suffer frequent reductions in salinity due to heavy rains,
potentially stressing the organisms found there, particularly the early stages of development …

Abstract The Sydney Harbour Estuary is a large drowned river valley adjacent to Sydney, a
large urban metropolis on track to become a megacity; estimated to reach a population of 10 …

Floods are one of the major threats to low-lying coastal lagoons, affecting people, socio-
