Coastal area constitutes a vulnerable environment and requires special attention to
preserve ecosystems and human activities therein. To this aim, many studies have been …

Sandy beaches provide several ecosystem services such as coastal protection and
resilience, water filtration and nutrient mineralization. Beaches also represent a hub for …

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has constrained world governments to impose measures of
restraint and social distancing which also involves coastal areas. One of the most affected …

Coastal inundation has recently started to require significant attention worldwide. The
increasing frequency and intensity of extreme events (sea storms, tsunami waves) are highly …

Numerical simulations of a range of wave climates and tide conditions made with the model
XBeach are exploited to study propagation, evolution, dissipation, and reflection patterns of …

The macrofauna in the intertidal zone of sandy beaches provides the trophic connectivity
between land and sea, by linking microbiome, meiofauna, and megafauna, representing a …

Abstract Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) is a low-cost and useful alternative to

Novel observations of bar features and migration patterns at three Italian sandy beaches in
Senigallia (central Adriatic Sea) and Terracina (central Tyrrhenian Sea) are presented …

Satellite remote sensing is a valuable tool for coastal management, enabling the possibility
to repeatedly observe nearshore sandbars. However, a lack of methodological approaches …

The role of wave forcing on the main hydro‐morphological dynamics evolving in the shallow
waters of the nearshore and at river mouths is analyzed. Focus is mainly on the cross‐shore …
