MARTÍNEZ DEL POZO, J.Á. and ANFUSO, G., 2008. Spatial approach to medium-term coastal evolution in south Sicily (Italy): implications for coastal erosion management. Journal of Coastal Research, 24(1), 33–42. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Four sets of maps and aerial photographs have been integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS) project to investigate coastal changes a...

Although many different erosion processes affect the coastal area of South Iran, wind caused erosion, considered a restrictive factor in human activities, makes one of the more common landscapes of the coastal strip. Therefore the recognition of wind caused erosion and its result is inevitable to conduct an effective coastal management. This study discusses the littoral geomorphologic shape of ...

Sediment deprivation from dam installments contributes to beach erosion yet the underlying physical and economic factors linking them together have traditionally been isolated during regional planning. In order to gain a better understanding of the behavior of a managed beach system, a dynamic simulation model was developed incorporating physical and monetary factors influencing the amount of a...

Periphyton is a complex assemblage of micro- and meiofauna embedded in the organic matrix that coats most submerged substrate in the littoral of lakes. The aim of this study was to better understand the consequences of depth-level fluctuation on a periphytic community. The effects of light and wave disturbance on the development of littoral periphyton were evaluated in Lake Erken (Sweden) using...

Gravity currents contribute to the transport of heat and mass in atmospheric aquatic environments. In systems subject daily surface cooling, gravity propagate through turbulent convective surroundings. Yet, effects thermal convection on remain be quantified. This paper demonstrates how interaction between penetrative downslope impacts fluid dynamics across littoral systems. We performed field e...

To mitigate coastal erosion in the sectors Barra-Vagueira and Figueira da Foz-Leirosa (NW of Portugal), Portuguese authority has promoted discussion on feasibility implementing a sand bypassing system to restore natural littoral sediment transport. This study synthesizes main results proposed solutions for Aveiro Foz tidal inlets. The methodology develop compromised tree phases that included hi...
