Reliable predictions of future inundation extent within estuaries require a precise evaluation
of future extreme sea levels and the application of accurate numerical models that account …

Ports significantly impact the economic activity in coastal areas. Future climate change
projections indicate that the frequency and intensity of extreme sea levels (ESL) will …

Reliable information on salt marsh extent and condition is crucial to promote effective
management strategies towards their maintenance and recovery. Most of previous studies …

The concept of water observatories is extended to create a highly versatile tool for both the
daily and the long-term management of estuarine ecosystems. Coastal observatories are …

The Tagus Estuary is the largest estuarine system in the Iberian Peninsula. Located in a
heavily populated metropolitan area (Lisbon), the estuary-coastal continuum is subject to …

The effects of tidal flats on the hydrodynamics of the Tagus estuary are analysed using an
accurate high-resolution shallow water model, supported by field data. Tidal flats act mainly …

The ongoing rise in sea level affects tidal propagation and circulation in estuaries, and these
changes can have far reaching consequences on the sediment dynamics, water quality and …

Abstract On February 15, 1941, a storm caused one of the major natural disasters in the
Iberian Peninsula in the past century. The storm made landfall in the north of Portugal …

Mangrove forests provide many valuable services, including wave-and tidal-energy
dissipation, sediment accumulation, and substrate stabilization. But, their global extent is …

The subtidal fish assemblage of Tagus estuary coastal area was sampled in order to infer
about its relationship to environmental conditions and its possible nursery function for …
