Abstract Small Island Develo** States (SIDS) have long been recognized as some of the
planet's most vulnerable areas to climate change, notably to rising sea levels and coastal …

Coral reef islands are low-lying, wave-deposited sedimentary landforms. Using an eco-
morphodynamic framework, this review examines the sensitivity of islands to climatic and …

Understanding the drivers of net coral reef calcium carbonate production is increasingly
important as ocean warming, acidification, and other anthropogenic stressors threaten the …

Complex reef structure, built via calcium carbonate production by stony corals and other
calcifying taxa, supports key ecosystem services. However, the decline in coral cover on …

Climatic change threatens the persistence of atoll islands and the cultural and ecosystem
services they support. However, adaptation and ecosystem management are constrained by …

Mussel biofouling increases energy losses in hydraulic structures. The first contribution of
this paper is the quantification of the mussel‐induced equivalent sand roughness ks as …

Describing the structural complexity of seabeds is of primary importance for a number of
geomorphological, hydrodynamical and ecological issues. Aiming to bring a decisive insight …

Demographic studies that quantify species' performances for survival, growth, and
reproduction are powerful means to characterize sources of demographic bottlenecks and …

In the Mediterranean Sea, vermetid reefs can modify coastal seascapes forming platforms in
the intertidal zone of rocky coasts. With their three-dimensional and seaward-expanding …

Before you lies the thesis' limits to reef growth: dynamic behavior of (sub) tropical social-
ecological coral reef ecosystems in the Anthropocene', for obtaining the Master's degree in …
