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

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 ...

Spatial distribution and biological effects of trace metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd) and organic micropollutants (PCBs, PAHs) in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis along the Algerian west coast

Dominique Grandjean, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro

Native mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis are used as bioindicator organisms to assess the concentration levels and toxic effects of persistent chemicals, polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals using biomarker ...

Hydrodynamics of mountain-river confluences and its relationship to sediment transport

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña

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 ...

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 ...

The influence of bottom boundary layer hydrodynamics on sediment focusing in a contaminated bay

Damien Bouffard

Understanding the dynamics and fate of particle bound contaminants is important for mitigating potential environmental, economic and health impacts linked to their presence. Vidy Bay, Lake Geneva (Switzerland), is contaminated due to the outfall and overfl ...

Assessing the Hydro-Morphodynamic Response of a Beach Protected by Detached, Impermeable, Submerged Breakwaters: A Numerical Approach

Coastal areas host a large fraction of the world's population and are exposed to natural extreme events, which are a serious threat to human life, as well as to economies. For this reason, sea storms are increasingly the object of studies, and the design o ...

Retour à l'abandon. Une maison de la pierre à Cevio (TI)

Simone Quadri

Le territoire de la Valmaggia raconte une histoire d'hostilité. Son paysage est chargé des gestes que l'homme a opéré au cours des siècles pour lutter contre les catastrophes naturelles dans un contexte topographique complexe, reliant glaciers et lacs méri ...

Sediment dynamics in the subaquatic channel of the Rhone delta (Lake Geneva, France/Switzerland)

Nicolas Le Dantec

With its smaller size, well-known boundary conditions, and the availability of detailed bathymetric data, Lake Geneva's subaquatic canyon in the Rhone Delta is an excellent analogue to understand sedimentary processes in deep-water submarine channels. A mu ...

Cross-shore transport pathways between coastal aquifers and coastal seas: Archetype of a nearshore variable-density contaminant plume

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Roham Bakhtyar, Clare Robinson

On permeable beaches, tides and waves lead to an upper saline plume underneath the beach face in addition to the saltwater wedge. The transport and fate of land-derived chemicals depend on process dynamics at the land-sea interface, which can be examined u ...

3D modelling of nearshore coastal morphodynamics

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

Coastal 3D nearshore processes were considered with an emphasis on the effects of oceanic forcing and beach characteristics on sediment transport in both cross- and alongshore directions, as well as on foreshore bathymetry changes. In our numerical experim ...
