On the role of biomass on coastal morphodynamics in natural and urban Mediterranean beaches
… change, implies an adequate response from coastal management and environmental protection. To counter these phenomena, urgent measures should be taken to mitigate anthropogenic impacts and restore natural coastal resilience. This thesis deals with the role that biomasses (mainly Posidonia …

Experimental investigation of wave-induced morphological changes of gravel beaches
… of USA. Over the past decades, researchers in coastal morphodynamics have placed their emphasis on studying sand beaches but gravel material is being used more frequently to nourish eroding sand beaches. The present thesis aims to advance the understanding of the behaviour of gravel beaches …

Signatures of land-ocean interactions in coastal morphology
Studying coastal and island evolution in response to environmental drivers offers numerous scientific and societal benefits, as coasts are among the most densely populated regions on Earth. Quantifying surface processes is essential for understanding large-scale landscape development and …

On the hydrodynamics of flexible vegetation canopies
… provide a host of ecosystem services within coastal environments. The environmental, social, and economic benefits are primarily controlled by the detailed interactions between hydrodynamics and canopy properties, which governs energy cascades and long-term coastal morphodynamics. This …

Morphodynamics of Ebb-Tidal Deltas
… tools are used to explore ebb-tidal delta morphodynamics. Themes include the dependence on environmental conditions, transitions from equilibrium, and the competing influence of jet currents and opposing waves on ebb-shoal and channel morphology. The work asserts that ebb-tidal delta …
