With the increase of evaporation projected for water bodies worldwide, there is a growing need flexible and low data-demanding tools enabling monitoring management resources. This study presents simple satellite-based tool named LakeVap specifically designed mapping from lakes reservoirs. requires small amount potentially available data with global coverage. The follows Dalton-type approach pro...

During the winter of 2013, Tagus estuary was under influence intense winds and extreme freshwater discharge that changed its hydrodynamics and, consequently, salt heat transport. Moreover, dynamics may change due to climate which will increase frequency waves mean sea level. Therefore, it is utmost importance study impact future in air temperature level events, such as ascertain foreseen change...

Abstract Cheniers are ridges consisting of coarse‐grained sediments, resting on top the fine sediment that forms otherwise muddy coast. In this paper, we use Delft3D to explore how cheniers formed through wave winnowing. We identify three phases chenier development: (a) a winnowing phase, during which mud is washed out seabed initially mixture sand and mud, (b) transport when in upper layer tra...

Low-energy, non-tidal lake beaches are known to be subject longshore morphodynamics, but little is about how they driven by wind and wave-driven currents. Lake Markermeer a shallow (∼4 m deep), wind-dominated lake, of approximately 700 km2. A gradient in wind-induced water level set-up at the leeward shore induces flow from shallower deeper parts thereby generating large-scale, horizontal circu...

Abstract With the continued rise in global mean sea level, operational predictions of tidal height and total water levels have become crucial for accurate estimations understanding level processes. The Dutch Continental Shelf Model Delft3D Flexible Mesh (DCSM-FM) is developed at Deltares to operationally estimate help trigger early warning systems mitigate against these extreme events. In this ...

Abstract Digitate shallow-water deltas are commonly found in modern lakes and bays, as well within cratonic petroliferous basins. They develop one or multiple sinuous finger-like sands (i.e., bar fingers), including high-RSI (sinuosity ratio of distributary channel finger ≥1) low-RSI (RSI < 1) types. Bar fingers consist four types subenvironments, that is, channels, point bars, mouth lev...

A numerical model was developed using Delft3D to simulate the circulation dynamics in Port Everglades, FL, and adjacent coastal area. The nested within HYCOM (Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model), while meteorological data were obtained from NARR (North American Regional Reanalysis) model. To evaluate model, outputs compared with observed NOAA. Calibration experiments conducted on parameters, includi...

There are still numerous uncertainties over the influence of anthropogenic interventions on salt marsh dynamics. This study uses Ribble Estuary as a test case and an integrated approach numerical modeling paleoenvironmental analysis to investigate contribution embankment construction long-term accretion. Accretion rates derived using optically stimulated luminescence dating (OSL) were combined ...
