Recent research in estuaries challenges the long-standing paradigm of the gravitationally
driven estuarine circulation. In estuaries with relatively strong tidal forcing and modest …

Recent advances in our understanding of estuarine circulation and salinity structure are
reviewed. We focus on well-and partially mixed systems that are long relative to the tidal …

The book describes an integrated theory that links estuary shape to tidal hydraulics, tidal
mixing and salt intrusion. The shape of an alluvial estuary is characterised by exponentially …

We examined the role of wave‐driven circulation relative to wind and buoyancy forcing in a
coral reef‐lagoon system. Circulation measurements in Paopao Bay, Moorea, French …

The tidally varying circulation, stratification, and salt flux mechanisms are investigated in a
shallow salt wedge estuary where fluvial and tidal velocities are large and the steady …
