Mercury isotope evidence for Arctic summertime re-emission of mercury from the cryosphere

During Arctic springtime, halogen radicals oxidize atmospheric elemental mercury (Hg0), which deposits to the cryosphere. This is followed by a summertime atmospheric Hg0 peak that is thought to resultmostly fromterrestrial Hg inputs to the ArcticOcean, fo ...

A Novel Method for River Bank Detection from Landsat Satellite Data: A Case Study in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta

Giovanni De Cesare, Sameh Ahmad Kantoush

River bank (RB) erosion is a global issue aecting livelihoods and properties of millions of people. However, it has not received enough attention in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD), i.e., the world’s third largest delta, compared to salinity intrusion an ...

Estimation of streamflow recession parameters: New insights from an analytic streamflow distribution model

Andrea Rinaldo, Bettina Schaefli, Ana Clara Pereira Barbosa Santos

Streamflow recession analysis characterizes the storage-outflow relationship in catchments. This relationship, which typically follows a power law, summarizes all catchment-scale subsurface hydrological processes and has long been known to be a key descrip ...

Workshop on Mapping with drones for natural and built environments

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Simone Sayuri Sato

The workshop on mapping with drones for natural and built environments has been organised in the framework of the Brazilian-Swiss Joint Research Programme (BSJRP), which supports research activity and academic cooperation. The Ecole polytechnique fédérale ...

Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part II. Sediment transport

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

This is the second of two papers on the 3D numerical modeling of nearshore hydro- and morphodynamics. In Part I, the focus was on surf and swash zone hydrodynamics in the cross-shore and longshore directions. Here, we consider nearshore processes with an e ...

Three-Dimensional Simulation of Lake Ontario North-Shore Hydrodynamics and Contaminant Transport

Damien Bouffard

The hydrodynamics and contaminant transport in the nearshore region of Lake Ontario, from Port Hope to Cobourg, were simulated. The model results were comprehensively validated against observations of water level, temperature, and currents collected during ...

Two-phase flow modeling of the influence of wave shapes and bed slope on nearshore hydrodynamics

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar, Amir Mehdi Razmi

An Eulerian two-phase flow model (air-water) was used to simulate nearshore hydrodynamic processes driven by wave motion. The flow field was computed with the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the Volume-Of-Fluid method and the ...

Cross-shore sediment transport estimation using fuzzy inference system in the swash zone

Roham Bakhtyar

The interactions between fluid and sediment in the swash zone dominate the erosion or accretion of the beach, and they act as boundary conditions for nearshore hydrodynamic and morphodynamic models. Thus, the evaluation of sediment transport is of particul ...

Impacts of 3D wave and tidal forcing on nearshore hydrodynamics

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

Numerical investigations covering all the physical processes occurring in the surf and swash zones, including the cross-shore and longshore flows, have not been fully developed, although considerable work in 2D has appeared in recent years. However, given ...

Two-dimensional approximation for tide-induced watertable fluctuations in a sloping sandy beach

David Andrew Barry

The prediction of watertable fluctuations in a coastal aquifer is important for coastal management. However, most previous approaches have based on the one-dimensional Boussinesq equation, neglecting variations in the coastline and beach slope. In this pap ...
