Modelling the transport and fate of buoyant macroplastics in coastal waters

As a result of the unabated growth in plastic usage worldwide, their abundance in the marine environment has steadily increased over the last few decades. Nowadays, plastic litter is observed across all oceans and shores. Due to their wide spread and adverse effects on ecology, economy and potentially human health, plastic pollution has been...

Numerical modelling of coastal changes between Chennai and Ennore, India: Accretion due to harbour breakwaters

In this report a study is presented concerning the morphological impact of breakwater structures perpendicular to a coast. This study was initially associated with the Indian coast between Chennai (formerly known as Madras) and Ennore in India. Like many ports, the harbour of Chennai had, and still has a considerable morphological impact on the...
