In this paper the evolution of Northern Tuscany littoral cell is documented through a detailed analysis increasing anthropogenic pressure since beginning 20th century. This sector coast has been experiencing strong erosion effects that resulted in loss large volumes sandy beaches. The impact on natural processes have intensified by construction two ports early decades Competent authorities reac...

This essay will provide an estimate of the Amerindian population on the southern littoral of the state of Rio de Janeiro, at the time of first contact with Europeans in 1500. It will also attempt to trace the decline of that population up to 1600, taking into consideration forms of labor exploitation and disease. Environmental impact of this population will then be assessed as an essential aspe...

The El Niño Southern Oscillation is the most dominant mode of interannual climate variability in Pacific. 2015/2016 event was one strongest last 145 years, resulting anomalously high wave energy across U.S. West Coast, and record coastal erosion for many California beaches. To better manage resources, it critical to understand impacts both short-term long-term varied settings California. This s...

The coastal sediment budget is an essential tool to understand erosion/accretion patterns along coastlines and predict future changes. This work one of the first approaches a study in cuspate shoreline covering whole embayment-spit system. Taking this into consideration, aims estimate main longshore transport propose conceptual model regional lagoon (Lagoa dos Patos-Brazil), while also analyzin...

On-farm water storages (locally known as farm dams or farm ponds) are an important part of many agricultural landscapes, as they provide a reliable source of water for irrigation and stock. Although these waterbodies are artificially constructed and morphologically simple, there is increasing interest in their potential role as habitat for native flora and fauna. In this article, we present res...
