Coastal subsidence contributes to relative sea-level rise and exacerbates flooding hazards,
with the at-risk population expected to triple by 2070. Natural processes of vertical land …

Morphodynamic equilibrium is a widely adopted yet elusive concept in the field of
geomorphology of coasts, rivers and estuaries. Based on the Exner equation, an expression …

Flame retardant chemical additives are incorporated into consumer goods to meet
flammability standards, and many have been detected in environmental matrices. A uniquely …

The current global projections of future sea level rise are the basis for developing inundation
hazard maps. However, contributions from spatially variable coastal subsidence have …

The San Francisco Bay–Delta Estuary watershed is a major source of freshwater for
California and a profoundly human-impacted environment. The water quality monitoring that …

Estuarine and coastal marine sediment-water fluxes are considered to be important
ecological features, but a global-scale assessment has yet to be developed. Goals of this …

The Earth is 4.6 billion years old, and over this time, its complexion has changed
dramatically. Geoscientists use remnant information from ancient rocks and sedimentary …

Assessing the influence of marshes on mitigating flooding along estuarine shorelines under
the pressures of sea level rise requires understanding wave transformation across the …

This study reviews the morphology, hydrodynamics and sedimentology of 33 modern straits,
including examples from diverse tectonic and climatic settings. Strait morphology ranges …

Reliable and long-term hindcast data of water levels are essential in quantifying return
period and values of extreme water levels. In order to inform design decisions on a local …
