Presentations Overview

Monitoring SSC can be challenging as direct sampling methods are labour intensive and indirect measurements are sensitive to changes in particle properties. Regardless, using ADCPs to predict SSC is promising because of the possibility to capture transport by combining with flow measurements. To red...

The increasing interest in marine renewable energy has led to the development of the first Italian lab in the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Naples harbour: the Marine Renewable Energy Lab (MaRELab), resulting from a collaboration between the Italian CNR and the University of Campania "Luigi Va...

The west coast of Sri Lanka faced erosion for the last few decades as a result of intensive sand mining and climate change. The limits of erosion were quantified and assessed through field measurements for a stretch of 18km. The history of shoreline change and the results of field measurements of th...

The site of Grangettes, registered as a natural reserve of national and international importance for waterfowl and migratory birds, is the last part of the Swiss lakeshore of Lake Geneva that remains natural. Because of repetitive localized dredging activities of the shoreline since the last century...

During berthing operations, the bow thruster jet reflecting on the quay wall and the bed can lead to high flow velocities near the bed. This may scour the nearby bed when it is left unprotected, causing instability of the adjacent quay wall. Due to the complex flow field of the reflected jet, the de...

Many low-lying coastal urban areas in north-western Europe rely on a hybrid beach-dike coastal defense system against flooding, which consists of a low-crested impermeable sea dike and a long (nourished) beach in front that functions as a very/extremely shallow foreshore during storm conditions. Alo...

The results of the analysis of the wave measurement campaigns on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica are presented. After analyzing more than 14000 spectral shapes from sea states, it has been determined that many of them present 2 or more swell peaks, so it was proposed to perform a wave characterizati...
