Global coastal zones are constantly changing due to the actions of various physical forces.
Recent studies show that the supply of suspended sediment of continental origin plays an …

Plastics are abundant artificial substrates in aquatic systems that host a wide variety of
organisms (the plastisphere), including potential pathogens and invasive species …

In the current context of climate change, understanding the effects of the changing
conditions on estuaries is of utmost importance to protect populations and ecosystems …

Abstract The Patos Lagoon estuary is a highly significant ecosystem where freshwater from
a vast and densely populated area continuously flows into the Atlantic Ocean by coastal …

Coastal areas are extremely important regions for social and economic development,
therefore vulnerable to human impacts as port settlement and development as well as …

Numerical models are key tools to characterize hydrodynamical patterns of coastal
environments and anticipate the potential effects of hazardous and extreme events …

Estuarine floods are one of the most harmful and complex extreme events occurring in
coastal environments. To predict the associated effects, characterize areas of risk, and …

Continental freshwater contributions are the main long-term control on the variability of
suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentrations in choked lagoons. The current work …

Turbid coastal plumes carry sediments, nutrients, and pollutants. Satellite remote sensing is
an effective tool for studying water quality parameters in these turbid plumes while covering …

Recent improvements in satellite altimetry data correction terms are encouraging studies of
the remote sensed sea level anomalies (SLA) progressively closer to the coast and over …
