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 …

Costa da Caparica beach, in Portugal, has suffered from chronic erosion for the last 50
years, a phenomenon that has been countered by various management interventions. This …

A new oil risk management system is proposed herein. Risk is computed in a quantitative
way, combining a detailed hazard maps generated with a process-based oil spill model over …

Coastal defence structures are often constructed to prevent beach erosion. However, poorly
designed structures may cause serious erosion problems in the downdrift direction …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 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 …
