Effects of soil stratigraphy on pore-water flow in a creek-marsh system

In coastal marshes, low-permeability mud is often found overlying high permeability sandy deposits. A recently developed 3D creek-marsh model was used to investigate the effects of soil stratigraphy (a mud layer overlying a sandy-loam layer) on pore-water ...

Signatures of sea level changes on tidal geomorphology: Experiments on network incision and retreat

Andrea Rinaldo

How do tidal networks respond to changes in relative mean sea level (RMSL)? The question on whether the morphological features of a tidal landscape retain signatures of past environmental forcings, or are in equilibrium with current ones, is critical to ou ...

Tide-induced surface water and groundwater interactions in coastal wetlands

David Andrew Barry

Intertidal wetlands such as salt marshes are complex hydrological systems characterized by strong, dynamic interactions between coastal surface water and groundwater, driven particularly by tides. We simulated such interactions with a focus on 3D, variably ...

The importance of being coupled: Stable states and catastrophic shifts in tidal biomorphodynamics

Andrea Rinaldo

We describe and apply a point model of the joint evolution of tidal landforms and biota which incorporates the dynamics of intertidal vegetation; benthic microbial assemblages; erosional, depositional, and sediment exchange processes; wind-wave dynamics, a ...

On the tidal prism–channel area relations

Andrea Rinaldo

We verify the broad applicability of tidal prism cross-sectional area relationships, originally proposed to relate the total water volume entering a lagoon during a characteristic tidal cycle (the tidal prism) to the size of its inlet, to arbitrary shelter ...

Investigation of micropollutants in two laboratory-scale constructed wetlands: experimental data and modeling

Pierre Claude Jean Queloz

In recent years, new types of water contaminants have emerged. More and more focus is notably set on pharmaceuticals, personal care products or pesticides, as it has been observed that these substances are commonly found in surface water. This contaminatio ...

Effects of crab burrows on pore water flows in salt marshes

David Andrew Barry

Macro-pores such as crab burrows are found commonly distributed in salt marsh sediments. Their disturbance on the soil structure is likely to influence both pore water flows and solute transport in salt marshes; however, the effects of crab burrows are not ...

Biologically-controlled multiple equilibria of tidal landforms and the fate of the Venice lagoon

Andrea Rinaldo

Looking across a tidal landscape, can one foresee the signs of impending shifts among different geomorphological structures? This is a question of paramount importance considering the ecological, cultural and socio-economic relevance of tidal environments ...

Spontaneous tidal network formation within a constructed salt marsh: Observations and morphodynamic modelling

Andrea Rinaldo

We have monitored and analyzed, through remote sensing and ancillary field surveys, the rapid (O(1) year) development of a tidal network within a newly established artificial salt marsh in the Venice Lagoon. After the construction of the salt marsh, a netw ...

Landscape evolution in tidal embayments: Modeling the interplay of erosion, sedimentation, and vegetation dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo

We propose an ecomorphodynamic model which conceptualizes the chief land-forming processes operating on the intertwined, long-term evolution of marsh platforms and embedded tidal networks. The rapid network incision (previously addressed by the authors) is ...
