LITTORAL PROCESSES IN CAMPELLO COASTS

Littoral Sedimentary Processes on Kauai,: A Subtropical High Island"

Beach and shallow water sand samples from the island of Kauai, Hawaiian Islands, were studied to ascertain the effects of climate 'on the suppl y of sediment, and of wave action on the dispersal and transport of sand along the shores of this circular island. The littoral sediments of the island are made up of two comp onents: biogenous material, such as shell, coral, and foraminiferal sands, fo...

Coasts: form, process and evolution

Advances in Morphodynamics of Coasts and Lagoons

Coastal evolution due to natural and human-induced causes or factors can be rather variable on quite different temporal and/or spatial scales. Our capability to understand and especially predict this variability on the longer time scales is still limited. This can lead to misinterpretation of coastal change information, which hampers informed decision-making and the subsequent functional design...

Drought Monitoring in Southern Coasts of Iran

Abstract In this research, SPEI (standardized precipitation and evaporation index) was used as an alternative index to SPI to study drought in warm southern coastal regions of Iran. Drought has a multi-scale nature that can be analyzed in time scales via analysis of precipitation and temperature data. Therefore, data were colected from 105 synoptic stations in Iran in 2015; Respective stati...

Phycoerythrin Signatures in the Littoral Zone

I am interested in understanding how, and in what ways, the taxonomic composition of the phytoplankton affects ecosystem-level processes in the sea. I am particularly interested in the relationship between the optical environment and the distribution of phytoplankton with different light harvesting pigments. To this end, I have been working in collaboration with experts in remote sensing and oc...
