Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Rip currents are narrow and concentrated seaward-directed flows that extend from close to
the shoreline, through the surf zone, and varying distances beyond. Rip currents are …

We present a high-order adaptive time-stepping TVD solver for the fully nonlinear
Boussinesq model of Chen (2006), extended to include moving reference level as in …

Rip currents are fast-moving flows, traveling “outward almost at right angles to the shore”,
creating a natural hazard for beachgoers, who suddenly find themselves in deep water …

Process-based morphodynamic Modeling is one of the relatively new tools at the disposal of
coastal scientists, engineers and managers. On paper, it offers the possibility to analyse …

In plankton ecology, biological and physical dynamics are coupled, structuring how plankton
interact with their environment and other organisms. This interdisciplinary field has …

Exchange of material across the nearshore region, extending from the shoreline to a few
kilometers offshore, determines the concentrations of pathogens and nutrients near the …

Megarips have long been recognised as an important, yet poorly documented, mechanism
of beach erosion on high-energy embayed beaches. The persistence and cumulative effect …

This paper presents experimental measurements of beaching times for buoyant microplastic
particles released, both in the pre-breaking region and within the surf zone. The beaching …

A field experiment was conducted on a high energy macro-tidal beach (Perranporth, UK) to
examine rip current dynamics over a low-tide transverse bar/rip system in response to …
