Wave climate and power distribution around a rocky island: Alcatrazes, Brazil

Modeling an arrested salt-wedge estuary subjected to variable river flow

Rhodolith mobility potential from seasonal and extreme waves

Wave energy distribution at inlet channel margins as a function of ebb tidal de...

Wave energy gradients between and along the margins of inlet channels play an important role in defining the inlet margins’ evolutionary processes, mainly those related to spit erosion or accretion, and inlet migration. The aim of this study is to understand the wave power distribution along the margins of a tidal inlet (Cananéia inlet, São Paulo, Brazil), its variation over time, and the influences of the ebb ...

Hidrodinâmica de um estuário tropical: rio Buranhém, Porto Seguro, Brasil

Estuaries are dynamic environments that are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic influences, especially when adjacent to urban areas. In this study it is assessed for the first time the hydrodynamic characteristics of the Buranhém estuary (Northeast Brazil). The aim is to define the salt transport mechanisms and the hydrodynamics and stratification patterns of this tropical estuary, under both spring and neap tid...

Evolução da vulnerabilidade à erosão costeira na Praia de Massaguaçú (SP), Brasil

Coastal erosion can cause major environmental and social damage to coastal areas, and disorderly and inadequate human occupation at these sites can lead to erosion. Massaguaçú Beach, on the northern coast of São Paulo State, has suffered severe erosion in recent years. In the most severe cases, erosion had already begun to affect the road way Dr. Manuel Hyppolito Rego (SP-55) that runs next to the beach. Severa...

Environmental and anthropogenic indicators for coastal risk assessment at Massa...

As a widespread trend, coastal erosion is occurring on many countries around the world. In general, such process is translated in environmental and socioeconomic damages in many coastal cities. The aim of this work is to use environmental and anthropogenic indicators to manage natural resources and subsidize regional planning. The study site is Massaguaçú Beach in Caraguatatuba, Northern Coast of São Paulo Stat...
