Tidal network morphodynamics is an active field of research and advances achieved over
the last decade, particularly with respect to laboratory experiments and numerical modelling …

The morphology of estuaries and rivers changes constantly due to the dynamic imbalance
between the forcing actions (eg river flow, tides, surface waves and wind) 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 …

Among the different types of tidal inlets, wave-dominated inlets have been subjected to few
quantitative studies, so that the physical processes controlling their dynamics are not fully …

Metals transported into the coastal zone by the South Iberian rivers are key to understand
the biogeochemical cycles and distribution of trace elements in the Gulf of Cadiz (GoC …

The economical and ecological importance of tidal inlets has fostered the development of
empirical tools for inlet management during the last century. This study aims at confronting …

Morphodynamic modeling systems are being subjected to a growing development over the
last decade and increasingly appear as valuable tools for understanding and predicting …

The generation of tidal asymmetries in estuaries is analyzed by examining the differences in
celerity at high and low tide. An analytical expression for the difference between ebb and …

Storm surge, a major disaster in coastal areas, is generated by tropical cyclones. Strong
currents and waves during storm surges often cause sediment transport and beach erosion …

This paper presents a depth-averaged sediment transport model with emphasis on
morphodynamic processes near coastal inlets and navigation channels. The model solves …
