Eco-geomorphological and hydrodynamic analysis of Mediterranean microtidal beaches in Southern Sardinia
… hydrodynamic and ecological aspects of the microtidal beaches of Southern Sardinia, Italy (Western Mediterranean Sea). Given the geomorphological variability along this coastal stretch, as well as the differing wave conditions and exposures, an initial morphometric analysis and …

Sediment Resuspension in a Microtidal Estuary: Causative Forces and Links with Algal Blooms
… algal production in shallow, eutrophic, microtidal estuaries.</p>

Nearshore Sedimentology of Eroding Microtidal Estuaries: Bon Secour Bay, Alabama and Perdido Bay, Florida
… influence has been increasingly evident in the microtidal Gulf Coast over recent decades. This study collects quantitative and qualitative data to better understand sedimentary dynamics associated with contemporary estuarine shoreline erosion in Bon Secour Bay, Alabama and Perdido Bay, Florida. …

Identifying Overwash Deposits in Arid Environments: Towards a Millennial-Scale Record of Cyclones and Makran Trench Tsunamis from Sur Lagoon, Oman
… were examined from a small (12 km<sup>2</sup>), microtidal lagoon in Sur, Oman. The 1945 tsunami deposit contained distinctive taphonomic assemblages of foraminifera and bivalves. Below the 41cm thick 1945 shell-rich deposit at Sur Lagoon, seven additional anomalous sand (mean grain size of 3.73f …

Aspects of ecology and algal physiology in Hawaii's rocky intertidal zones
… situ measurements and manipulations reveal that microtidal fluctuations (+1 m) combined with early morning timing of low tide, limits exposure to intense solar radiation and temperature, and facilitates the physiological performance of common reef algae. This is in contrast to temperate shores …

Facies analysis of three members of the Scarborough Formation (Middle Jurassic : Lower Bajocian) in the Cleveland Basin, northeast England : Blea Wyke, Byland Limestone and Crinoid grit members
… to deposition in a shallow [<4m], essentially microtidal,delta-destructive marine embayment. This embayment formed through non-eustatic marine transgression initiated by the compactional subsidence of an abandoned [Gristhorpe Member] delta lobe. Open to the east, the embayment covered some …

The control of wind and waves on sediment transport asymmetry and the long-term morphological development of estuaries
… in sharp contrast to previous observations from microtidal wave-dominated environments, in which differences between spring and neap result in increased erosion during spring tides. Overall, this thesis shows that short period locally generated waves can be considered a morphologically …

Sedimentological study of the western zone of the Lady Annie phosphate deposit, Queensland, Australia
… of phosphatic allochems in a semi-protected microtidal tectonic depression marginal to the Georgina Basin epeiric sea. The analysis of grain type, textural fabrics and sedimentary structures of the phosphorites indicates that reworking, transport and winnowing played a major role in the …

Hypsometric and geometric controls on hydrodynamics, tidal asymmetry, and sediment connectivity in shallow estuarine systems
… profile shapes were explored for six shallow microtidal basins of Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand. Model results, obtained from a depth-averaged numerical model developed in Delft3D for the full estuarine system, indicated that tidal distortion increases with distance from basin entrance. A …
