Journal ArticleDOI
Tidal controls on river delta morphology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the role of the tides in the development of river delta morphology and found that the tides act to stabilize delta morphology at the landscape scale under the condition that sediment import during low flows largely balances sediment export during high flows.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the impact of human activities on the morphodynamic developments of the Scheldt Estuary and the Wadden Sea basins in the Netherlands and the Yangtze Estuary in China at various spatial scales, and identified mechanisms responsible for their change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the morphological development of the Wadden Sea barrier island system, with emphasis on West and East Frisian islands on several temporal and spatial scales.

The effect of land reclamations and sediment extraction on the suspended sediment concentration in the Ems Estuary
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of land reclamations and changes in other sediment sinks on suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in the Ems Estuary and found that a decrease in accommodation space for fine-grained sediments by land reclams or by reducing fine grained sediment extraction will lead to an increase in suspended sediment concentrations.

World heritage and tourism in a changing climate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of the increasing vulnerability of World Heritage sites to climate change impacts and the potential implications for and of global tourism, and examine the close relationship between World Heritage and tourism.

Development and validation of a three-dimensional morphological model
TL;DR: The DELFT3D-FLOW module as discussed by the authors is a 3D flow solver for modeling sediment transport patterns in the water column of the DELFT-3D flow model, which is used to model both suspended and bedload transport of noncohesive sediment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tidal straining, density currents, and stirring in the control of estuarine stratification
TL;DR: In this article, the authors adapted the energy considerations used in the surface heating problem to describe the competition between the stabilizing effect of fresh water and the vertical mixing brought about by tidal and wind stirring.

Non-linear tidal distortion in shallow well-mixed estuaries: a synthesis☆
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of asymmetric tidal cycles in the transport and accumulation of sediment in shallow well-mixed estuaries is well established, and numerical modeling is used to extend theoretical and observational relationships between geometry and sea-height to predict trends in velocity distortion and near-bed sediment transport.

Introduction to the Physics of Cohesive Sediment in the Marine Environment
TL;DR: In this article, boundary layer flow and sediment-fluid interaction in cohesive sediment are investigated. But the 1DV Point Model is not suitable for the measurement of cohesive sediment.
