Modelling of coastline evolution due to tidal inlet migration: real-world case studies

In the light of climate change, sea-level rise, and human interventions, increasing the predictability of the coastline evolution on a temporal scale from years to decades are highly demanding for adaptation planning. However the rapid development in the coastal modelling capabilities, more efforts are needed to bridge the gap between the...

Wave climate variability and longshore sediment transport on The Doce river delta coast (Brazil)

Deltas are prograding landforms that exist at the interface between rivers and open water systems (marine or lake) and are formed by the deposition of great loads of fluvial sediments. Depending on the influence of the dominant process, deltas can be classified as river-, tide-, or wave-dominated and they will display distinct morphologies ...

Coastal Dynamics 2021 Conference: 8th edition of the Coastal Dynamics Conference (Online Conference)

The Coastal Dynamics conference series advances the community's understanding of coastal processes, in terms of science, engineering and management, spanning a variety of scales and environments including sandy, rocky and muddy coasts, inlets and estuaries. The Coastal Dynamics 2021 conference was the nineth conference in the series hosted by...

Factors regulating sediment fluxes over an engineered foredune and adjacent dune slack

This study aims to identify and understand the annual scale sediment transport patterns in a fully engineered dune-dune slack system that was created from seabed sediments for grey dune and moist dune slack habitat creation at the Delfland coast (the Netherlands). The annual morphological development was analysed using LiDAR elevation data....

Lagrangian sediment transport modelling as a tool for investigating Coastal connectivity

Estuaries and coasts can be conceptualized as connected networks of water and sediment fluxes. These dynamic geomorphic systems are governed by waves, tides, wind, and river input, and evolve according to complex nonlinear transport processes. To predict their evolution, we need to better understand the pathways that sediment takes from source...
