River delta degradation has been caused by extraction of natural resources, sediment
retention by reservoirs, and sea-level rise. Despite global concerns about these issues …

Estuaries show dynamic patterns of channels and bars, which are also valuable habitats,
while channels provide access to harbours. In contrast with bars in rivers, we still lack …

Since climate change impacts threaten the coastal regions of the North Sea, consistent sea

The Wadden Sea is a unique coastal wetland containing an uninterrupted stretch of tidal
flats that span a distance of nearly 500km along the North Sea coast from the Netherlands to …

With climate change impacts like sea level rise and changing storms, proper prediction of
significant wave height (SWH) becomes increasingly important for coastal protection and …

Many estuaries worldwide are modified, primarily driven by economic gain or safety. These
works, combined with global climate changes heavily influence the morphologic …

Natural sediment sinks have been removed in many estuaries and tidal basins, and the
resulting loss in accommodation space likely led to an increase in the suspended sediment …

The article focuses on the morphological development of the Wadden Sea barrier island
system, with emphasis on West and East Frisian islands on several temporal and spatial …
