The closure of a shallow tidal inlet promoted by infragravity waves
Tidal inlets connect the ocean to inner water bodies and are present worldwide. Shallow
inlets display fast morphological changes, due to complex interactions between tides …

Geomorphological control of sandy beaches by a mixed-energy tidal inlet
Coastal areas adjacent to tidal inlets are highly valuable areas for marine ecosystems where
a wide range of social and economic activities can be found. These areas can be …

Modelling of sediment transport and morphological evolution under the combined action of waves and currents
Coastal defence structures are often constructed to prevent beach erosion. However, poorly
designed structures may cause serious erosion problems in the downdrift direction …

Secular shoreline response to large-scale estuarine shoal migration and welding
Abstract The 14.5-km North-Médoc coast, southwest France, is a high-energy meso-to
macro-tidal environment adjacent to the largest estuary in Europe. Over the last centuries …

Tidally discontinuous ocean forcing in bar‐built estuaries: The interaction of tides, infragravity motions, and frictional control
Shallow, bar‐built estuaries on wave‐dominated coasts in Mediterranean climates
experience an intermittent connection to the ocean. In the presence of low streamflow, their …

Relevance of infragravity waves in a wave‐dominated inlet
This study investigates the relevance of infragravity (IG) waves at Albufeira Lagoon Inlet, a
shallow wave‐dominated inlet located on the western coast of Portugal. A field experiment …

On the perception of morphodynamic model skill
The quality of morphodynamic predictions is generally expressed by an overall grid-point
based skill score, which measures the relative accuracy of a morphological prediction over a …

Natural and anthropogenic-induced changes in a tidal inlet: Morphological evolution of Oregon Inlet
L Velasquez-Montoya, MF Overton, EJ Sciaudone - Geomorphology, 2020 - Elsevier
Natural processes driving the dynamics of tidal inlets have been studied in length, however,
as human influence in the coastal environment persists, there is a need to comprehend how …
