Modelling forms a vital part of all engineering design, yet many hydraulic engineers are not
fully aware of the assumptions they make. These assumptions can have important …

Coastal regions have important social and economic relevance and are vulnerable to
anthropogenic impacts. Port settlement and development are among the main economic …

Abstract Changes in hydrological processes in large watersheds may heavily impact the
dynamics of downstream aquatic ecosystems such as lakes and reservoirs. In general …

The content of rare earth elements (REE) and their distribution in sediment cores collected
from the Patos Lagoon estuary from southern Brazil were investigated. Sediment cores (ca …

Abstract The Adriatic Sea is a semi-enclosed basin located in the NE part of the
Mediterranean Sea and it is strongly influenced by riverine inputs. In its northern sub-basin …

Wave energy extraction in coastal regions may be an excellent alternative due to the
increase in global demand for renewable energy. The viability study of this extraction …

Extensive mud deposits superimposed on the predominantly sandy inner continental shelf
adjacent to the Patos Lagoon estuary, indicates that the Lagoon is a potential source of fine …

This paper investigated the hydrodynamics, spatio-temporal variability of
temperature/salinity and the residence time of tracer concentrations in a largest brackish …

The southern Brazilian shelf (SBS) is a region influenced by fresh water. The initial
deposition of suspended sediments carried by this fresh water presents important ecological …

Abstract The Sea of Azov is a small, shallow, and freshened sea that receives a large
freshwater discharge. Under certain external forcing conditions low-salinity waters from the …
