Long‐term morphodynamics of muddy backbarrier basins: Fill in or empty out?

G Mariotti, A Canestrelli - Water Resources Research, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The long‐term (3000 years) morphodynamics of an idealized muddy backbarrier
tidal basins is studied using a shallow‐water hydrodynamics and wind‐wave model (Deltf3D …

Models of deltaic and inner continental shelf landform evolution

S Fagherazzi, I Overeem - Annu. Rev. Earth Planet. Sci., 2007 - annualreviews.org
The morphology of passive continental shelves is dictated by the input of sediments from
rivers and their redistribution by waves, currents, and gravity-driven flows. The pathways …

Process-based 2DH morphodynamic modeling of tidal inlets: A comparison with empirical classifications and theories

A Nahon, X Bertin, AB Fortunato, A Oliveira - Marine Geology, 2012 - Elsevier
The economical and ecological importance of tidal inlets has fostered the development of
empirical tools for inlet management during the last century. This study aims at confronting …

Tidal and subtidal hydrodynamics and energetics in a constricted estuary

C Zarzuelo, A López-Ruiz, M Díez-Minguito… - Estuarine, Coastal and …, 2017 - Elsevier
The dynamics of coastal plain estuaries are mainly associated with variable tidal forcing and
local winds in combination with bathymetric complexity and coastline irregularity. Specific …

Net sediment transport in tidal basins: quantifying the tidal barotropic mechanisms in a unified framework

VM Gatto, BC van Prooijen, ZB Wang - Ocean Dynamics, 2017 - Springer
Net sediment transport in tidal basins is a subtle imbalance between large fluxes produced
by the flood/ebb alternation. The imbalance arises from several mechanisms of suspended …

Three-dimensional numerical modeling of deltas

I Overeem, JPM Syvitski, EWH Hutton - 2005 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Deltaic systems are controlled by a complex interaction of sediment supply, accommodation,
and coastal energy, each varying in time and space, making three-dimensional study …

Dynamics of a wave-dominated tidal inlet and influence on adjacent beaches, Currumbin Creek, Gold Coast, Australia

B Castelle, J Bourget, N Molnar, D Strauss… - Coastal …, 2007 - Elsevier
Currumbin Creek on the Australian Gold Coast is a wave-dominated tidal inlet which

Cyclic channel-shoal dynamics at the Ameland inlet: The impact on waves, tides, and sediment transport

KJH Lenstra, SRPM Pluis, W Ridderinkhof, G Ruessink… - Ocean Dynamics, 2019 - Springer
Ebb-tidal deltas are shallow features seaward of tidal inlets, acting as a wave filter for the
nearby barrier island and a source of sediment for the landward tidal basin. On many ebb …
