Waves are fundamentally important to the physical and biological functioning of estuaries.
Understanding and predicting contaminant transport, development of sedimentary …

Coastal observatories are key to improve the understanding of processes within the coastal
area and their interactions with regional and global environmental changes. The land-sea …

The Coastal Observing System for Northern and Arctic Seas (COSYNA) was established in
order to better understand the complex interdisciplinary processes of northern seas and the …

Back-barrier tidal flats occur along micro-to mesotidal coasts landward of barrier islands and
in the shelter of coastal sand spits and bars. Tidal flats are generally flood dominated, the …

In order to evaluate the importance of coastal sandy sediments and their contribution to
carbon, nutrient and metal cycling we investigated two beach sites on Spiekeroog Island …

Lagrangian observations are important for the understanding of complex transport patterns
of floating macroscopic litter items at the ocean surface. Satellite-tracked drifters and …

We present ex situ sediment incubation results from the California and Oregon shelves and
compare the calculated benthic flux of dissolved Fe with those from in situ incubations and …

Tidally dominated coasts are directly affected not only by projected rise in mean sea level,
but also by changes in tidal dynamics due to sea level rise and bathymetric changes. By use …

This study addresses the impact of wind, waves, tidal forcing and baroclinicity on the sea
level of the German Bight during extreme storm events. The role of wave-induced processes …

Abstract The German Wadden Sea (southern North Sea) sediments are composed of both
cohesive and non-cohesive deposits. The spatial distribution patterns are mainly driven by …
