Confidence limits of species proportions in microfossil assemblages
Francisco Fatela,Rui Taborda +1 more
TL;DR: The confidence limits of benthic foraminiferal counts obtained from fossil deep-sea assemblages are analyzed to figure out the optimum number of specimens needed for a reliable interpretation of species proportions and suggest that percent abundance given in micropaleontological studies should include the binomial error estimate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave climate variability in the North-East Atlantic Ocean over the last six decades
TL;DR: In this article, a 57-year hindcast (1953-2009) obtained with a spectral wave model forced with reanalysis wind fields was used to investigate the variability in the North-East Atlantic Ocean (25°W-0°W and 30°N-60° N).
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrated method for the determination of set-back lines for coastal erosion hazards on sandy shores
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an integrated method for defining set-back lines associated with coastal hazards on sandy shores for a 50-year period of interest, based on a worst-case scenario approach, the shoreline evolutionary trend being the basis for the initial setback line determination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microtextural characteristics of quartz grains transported and deposited by tsunamis and storms
Pedro Costa,César Andrade,Alastair G. Dawson,William C. Mahaney,Maria da Conceição Freitas,Raphaël Paris,Rui Taborda +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of quartz grains transported and deposited by tsunami and storm waves with the objective of identifying specific microtextural signatures caused by high-energy marine inundations and to correlate them with their principal sedimentary sources is presented.
Journal Article
Field measurements of longshore sand transport and control processes on a steep meso-tidal beach in Portugal
TL;DR: In this article, a field experiment was carried at Culatra Beach in Algarve (Southern Portugal) to determine longshore transport rates and sand mixing depth on a steep meso-tidal beach.
