A Tidal Prism analysis of the soluble copper mixing zone around the Occoquan Water Treatment Plant
… developed based upon the 1988 version of the Tidal Prism Model. Simulations were run on the "worst case scenarios" in the Occoquan River as an attempt to define the mixing zone. It is our initial conclusion that the treatment plant discharge has a negligible effect upon the concentrations of …

Computer enhanced modelling of tidal velocities and circulation patterns, Buttermilk Bay, Massachusetts: a model study and development of methods for general application
Buttermilk Bay is a tidal embayment located at the northern end of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, and is approximately 1.5 km long, 1.0 km wide, with an average depth of 1.0 m. Little Buttermilk Bay, located to the northeast of, and connected to Buttermilk Bay via Gibbs Narrows, is approximately 1.0 …

Estuarine Dynamics as a Function of Barrier Island Transgression and Wetland Loss: Understanding the Transport and Exchange Processes
… barrier islands are converted to inner shoals, tidal exchange increases between the estuary and coastal ocean. If marshes are unable to accrete at a pace comparable to SLR, wetlands will deteriorate and the tidal exchange and tidal prism will further increase. Secondary to hurricanes, winter …

Sand transport in northern Venice Lagoon through the tidal inlet of Lido
… around Lido Inlet, the largest of<br/>three tidal inlets in Venice Lagoon, Italy. Morphological analysis has established the presence<br/>of an ebb-tidal delta extending from the mouth of Lido Inlet as well as other features typical<br/>of tidal inlets. The stability of the inlet, as well as …

Tidally Induced Transport Dynamics in a Wadden Sea Tidal Basin and Its Changes Under Future Sea Level Rise Scenarios
… Wadden Sea are shaped by the interplay between tidal dynamics, basin geomorphology, and atmospheric forcing. These interactions create spatial structures of hydrodynamic connectivity that govern transport processes, ecological functioning, and the interpretation of long-term observations. …

Hydrodynamic controls on multiple tidal inlet persistence
… but have focused on single rather than multiple tidal inlet systems, relying solely on measured data to describe and predict the behavior of tidal inlets and/or suggesting empirical stability relationships between inlet morphology and inlet/bay hydrodynamics. At present, the only multiple tidal …

Long and Short-Term Morphologic Evolution and Stratigraphic Architecture of a Transgressive Tidal Inlet, Little Pass Timbalier, Louisiana
… barrier island shorelines can be attributed to tidal inlet processes, and therefore an understanding of these processes is important to effectively manage barrier systems. High rates of relative sea-level rise within the Mississippi River delta plain have resulted in rapid landwardmigration of …

The Threat and Cascade Method of estuarine health assessment: a logical sequence from human impact to biological degradation via system physics and chemistry
… time, estuary number (freshwater inflow/ tidal prism), coastal exchange, and the proportion of the time the estuary mouth is closed to the ocean. The Threat and Cascade Method assumes that an anthropogenically threatened system with a short residence time is less likely to be impacted on …

The Hydrodynamic and Estuarine Physics Of Maketu Estuary
… showed the estuary to consist of large inter-tidal areas covering 70-80% of its -2 km² area. A bathymetry map of the estuary was produced showing that Maketu is a small geomorphologicaly "perched" and "low meso-tidal" estuarine lagoon dissected by numerous narrow tidal channels, 10-30 m wide …
