The present knowledge of Holocene continental shelf deposits in relation to the processes for their formation, from the prospective of marine sediment dynamics, is examined. Over the …
Wave‐current interactions play a major role in the dynamics of shallow tidal inlets. This study investigates these interactions at a natural inlet, with a strong focus on current‐induced …

Alluvial river estuaries consist largely of sand but are typically flanked by mudflats and salt marshes. The analogy with meandering rivers that are kept narrower than braided rivers by …
Coastal zones in the vicinity of tidal inlets are commonly utilised for navigation, fishing, sand mining, waterfront development and recreation and are under very high population …
Abstract The long‐term (3000 years) morphodynamics of an idealized muddy backbarrier tidal basins is studied using a shallow‐water hydrodynamics and wind‐wave model (Deltf3D …

Tidal inlets on barrier coasts can migrate alongshore hundreds of meters per year, often presenting great management and engineering challenges. Here we perform model …
We investigate the initiation and long‐term evolution of tidal networks by comparing controlled laboratory experiments and their associated scaling laws with outputs from a …
