The majority of the world's mangrove forests occur on mostly mineral sediments of fluvial
origin. Two perspectives exist on the biogeomorphic development of these forests, ie that …

Global coastal zones are constantly changing due to the actions of various physical forces.
Recent studies show that the supply of suspended sediment of continental origin plays an …

Recent research advances highlight the importance of open-coast tidal-flat depositional
system in both modern and ancient coastal environments. The system is unique in its wave …

Hydrodynamic forces on intertidal flats vary over a range of temporal and spatial scales.
These spatiotemporal inhomogeneities have implications for intertidal flat morphodynamics …

Suspended particulate matter (SPM) collected at regular stations from the Mandovi and
Zuari estuaries indicates that the peaks of high SPM coincide with peaks of high rainfall and …

Cold water mass (CWM) is a distinct hydrologic phenomenon in summer in worldwide
continental shelf seas. CWM can significantly affect circulation patterns and biogeochemical …

The southern Brazilian shelf (SBS) is a region influenced by fresh water. The initial
deposition of suspended sediments carried by this fresh water presents important ecological …

Sediment transport over intertidal flats is driven by a combination of waves, tides, and wind-
driven flow. In this study we aimed at identifying and quantifying the interactions between …

Increasing inputs of terrigenous sediments from anthropic land use change elevates water
column turbidity, reducing light availability to benthic primary producers that sustain …

Abstract The German Wadden Sea (southern North Sea) sediments are composed of both
cohesive and non-cohesive deposits. The spatial distribution patterns are mainly driven by …
