Infragravity waves: From driving mechanisms to impacts

X Bertin, A de Bakker, AP Van Dongeren, G Coco… - Earth-Science …, 2018 - Elsevier
Infragravity (hereafter IG) waves are surface ocean waves with frequencies below those of
wind-generated “short waves”(typically below 0.04 Hz). Here we focus on the most common …

Is “morphodynamic equilibrium” an oxymoron?

Z Zhou, G Coco, I Townend, M Olabarrieta… - Earth-Science …, 2017 - Elsevier
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 …

Holocene sedimentary systems on continental shelves

S Gao, MB Collins - Marine Geology, 2014 - Elsevier
The present knowledge of Holocene continental shelf deposits in relation to the processes

Wave‐current interactions in a wave‐dominated tidal inlet

G Dodet, X Bertin, N Bruneau… - Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Effects of mud supply on large-scale estuary morphology and development over centuries to millennia

L Braat, T van Kessel, JRFW Leuven… - Earth Surface …, 2017 - esurf.copernicus.org
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 …

Assessing climate change impacts on the stability of small tidal inlet systems: Why and how?

TM Duong, R Ranasinghe, D Walstra, D Roelvink - Earth-science reviews, 2016 - Elsevier
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 …

Long‐term morphodynamics of muddy backbarrier basins: Fill in or empty out?

G Mariotti, A Canestrelli - Water Resources Research, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Mechanics and rates of tidal inlet migration: Modeling and application to natural examples

JH Nienhuis, AD Ashton - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Tidal inlets on barrier coasts can migrate alongshore hundreds of meters per year, often
