Scientists and engineers have observed for some time that tidal amplitudes at many
locations are shifting considerably due to nonastronomical factors. Here we review …

Estuarine turbidity maxima (ETMs) are generated by a large suite of hydrodynamic and
sediment dynamic processes, leading to longitudinal convergence of cross-sectionally …

Many estuaries worldwide are becoming more urbanised with heavier traffic in the
waterways, requiring continuous channel deepening and larger ports, and increasing …

Tides are changing worldwide at rates not explained by astronomical forcing. Rather, the
observed evolution of tides and other long waves, such as storm surges, is influenced by …

Active deepening of tidal channels usually results in the alteration of the vertical and the
horizontal tide. This may lead to concurrent significant increases in mean suspended matter …

Nuisance flooding (NF) is defined as minor, nondestructive flooding that causes substantial,
accumulating socioeconomic impacts to coastal communities. While sea-level rise is the …

In this study we investigate the hypothesis that increasing channel depth in estuaries can
amplify both tides and storm surge by develo** an idealized numerical model …

This is Part I of two papers on man-induced regime shifts in small, narrow, and converging
estuaries, with focus on the interaction between effective hydraulic drag, fine sediment …

Three of the nine highest recorded water levels in the New York Harbor region have
occurred since 2010 (March 2010, August 2011, and October 2012), and eight of the largest …

Using newly‐discovered archival measurements, we construct an instrumental record of
water levels and storm tides in Boston (MA) since 1825. After ascertaining the 19th century …
