Flood Risk Assessment at the Douro River Estuary

Estuaries have huge socio-economic and environmental importance. They are a shelter for many species and their natural resources are exploited by human activities. However, the intensification of flood events and the sea-level rise (SLR), caused by climate change (CC), can jeopardize its complex dynamics. This work characterizes the hydrodynamic behaviour of the Douro river estuary, located in northern Portugal...

Evaluating wind datasets for wave hindcasting in the NW Iberian Peninsula coast

The available wind datasets can be exploited to support the setup of accurate wave models, able to reproduce and forecast extreme event scenarios. It is of utmost importance in the actual context of climate change. This study focuses on evaluating the performance of a numerical wave model, using different wind datasets, helping to create a tool to assess coastal risks, and further on to support the future imple...

NUMERICAL MODELS APPLICATION FOR MORPHODYNAMICS ASSESSMENT OF CLIMATE CHANGE IM...

<jats:p>The knowledge of physical, biological, and chemical estuarine processes and how they are affected by climate change conditions is essential for improving estuarine management. A common methodological approach for studying these complex processes is based on the implementation of numerical models supported by field data as bathymetry, sediment characteristics, flow discharges, current velocities, and sea...

Assessment of a Sand Spit Morphodynamics Under Extreme Flood Events

<jats:p>&lt;p&gt;Spits are landforms that present a complex morphology, which depends on currents, waves, sediment transport, tidal range and anthropic-induced changes. Their position and shape is subject to extreme events like flood river discharges and storms. They can also respond to processes that take place at larger time scales, as plate tectonics, sea level rise or even climatological patterns with telec...
