In-situ observations of nonlinear internal waves (NIWs) propagating over the northern shelf
of Portugal, near the Nazaré submarine canyon (39° 47.4′ N/009° 11.4′ W), and evidence …

Abstract A flexible 2D/3D oil spill modeling system addressing the distinct nature of the
surface and water column fluids, major oil weathering and improved retention/reposition …

Among the different types of tidal inlets, wave-dominated inlets have been subjected to few
quantitative studies, so that the physical processes controlling their dynamics are not fully …

This work describes the application of hydrodynamic (ELCIRC) and transport (VELA and
VELApart) models to the Ria Formosa lagoon (Portugal) to study the impact of the relocation …

The relative impacts of tidal (neap, spring) and river discharge (including a flood event)
forcing upon water and sediment circulation have been examined at the rock-bound …

This paper investigates the effect of natural and artificial morphological changes in a tidal
inlet on the tidal propagation and on the water exchanges with the sea, through data …

Although rising global sea levels will affect the estuarine flooded areas over the coming
decades, the local and regional-scale processes will also induce important changes in these …

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 …

Morphodynamic modeling systems are being subjected to a growing development over the
last decade and increasingly appear as valuable tools for understanding and predicting …

Climate change is causing mean sea surface temperatures (SST) to increase worldwide.
However, this increase has not been temporally or spatially uniform, with variations …
