Inception of Regular Valley Spacing in Fluvial Landscapes: A Linear Stability Analysis

Sara Bonetti, Shashank Kumar Anand

Incipient valley formation in mountainous landscapes is often associated with their presence at a regular spacing under diverse hydroclimatic forcings. Here we provide a formal linear stability theory for a landscape evolution model (LEM) representing the ...

Sandy beaches in estuaries and bays (BEBs) are common landforms on the coasts of many major cities. They exist under a wide range of settings and their morphology is controlled by their distance from the estuary/bay entrance, exposure to different types of ...

Thermal Effects on Flow and Salinity Distributions in Coastal Confined Aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Li Pu

Coastal aquifers provide an important hydrologic connection between terrestrial freshwater and oceanic seawater. Understanding the water flow and salinity distributions in those aquifers is essential to manage seawater intrusion and regional groundwater re ...

Effects of entrance conditions on tidal hydrodynamics in idealized prismatic estuaries under sea level rise

Steve Hottinger

Understanding tidal hydrodynamics response to sea level rise (SLR) in estuaries is essential to predict future potential issues such as shoreline erosion, more frequent and intense flooding, coastal wetland threatening, and their economic and ecological as ...

Desalinization and Salinization: A Review of Major Challenges for Coastal Reservoirs

David Andrew Barry

Coastal reservoirs are a possible solution to water supply and management issues in coastal zones. However, salinization can degrade the utility of such reservoirs. Two related major challenges affecting the operation of a coastal reservoir are desalinizat ...

Monthly to decadal evolution of sandy beaches in the Pittwater estuary

Vincent Henri De Staercke

Even if the total length of shorelines in low-wave environments like bays, sounds, lagoons and estuaries greatly exceed that of open-ocean coasts, the morphodynamics of such systems are poorly understood. Only few studies developed models to predict change ...

We examine temporal variability of thermally-driven baroclinic cross-shore exchange in the context of a tropical fringing reef system focusing on the role of tidally driven alongshore flow. Ensemble diurnal phase averaging of crossshore flow at the Kilo Na ...

Mountain confluences are characterized by narrow and steep tributaries that provide important sediment load to the confluence, whereas themain channel supplies the dominant flow discharge. This results in a marked bed discordance between the tributary and ...

Wave atlas for Swiss lakes: modeling design waves in mountainous lakes.

Azin Amini, Philippe Heller, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

The present study aims to provide a comprehensive wave atlas for Swiss lakes. The atlas is an adequate tool that contains wave characteristics of extreme events derived from numerical calculations. Swiss lakes are surrounded by mountains, and the wind fiel ...

Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part I: Flow and turbulence fields

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

The major objective of this study was to develop further understanding of 3D nearshore hydrodynamics under a variety of wave and tidal forcing conditions. The main tool used was a comprehensive 3D numerical model – combining the flow module of Delft3D with ...
