The predictability of beach inundation is mainly related to wave runup and most of the formulations that have been developed focus on the hydrodynamics, disregarding the morphological changes caused during storms. For these ...
Este trabajo presenta un marco metodológico para la estimación de la vulnerabilidad costera al impacto de tormentas a dos escalas, regional y local. Se hace una evaluación de la vulnerabilidad costera física mediante la ...
The main target of this research is to develop a numerical model for debris flow simulations. As it is known, in general, this kind of flows occur in steeped mountain slopes. When dealing with the complete 3D physic system ...
En esta tesis se ha desarrollado y validado un modelo tridimensional de circulación costera en elementos finitos capaz de simular una región limitada del océano. La escala de longitud de las aplicaciones pueden ser del ...
Con el objetivo de desarrollar una herramienta de gestión para la reducción del impacto de los efluentes sobre los ecosistemas receptores de una granja camaronícola en el Estero de Urías, Mazatlán, Sinaloa, México, se ...
En la actualidad, las decisiones en la ingeniería de costas y la gestión costera se apoyan, cada vez más, en los modelos numéricos predictivos de los procesos costeros, que por otra parte, se basan en modelos conceptuales ...
Les imatges de teledetecció de la superfície oceànica proporcionen una vista sinòptica de la complexa geometria de la circulació oceànica, dominada per la variabilitat de mesoescala. Estructures com filaments i vòrtex són ...
Using both observations and modelling tools, it is investigated the main hydrodynamic response mechanisms of a microtidal and shallow bay in the Mediterranean Sea: Alfacs Bay. Main objectives are considered using differenttim ...
The main objective of this study is to improve wind wave forecasting in the NW Mediterranean Sea while focusing on the characteristic sharp gradients of the wind and wave conditions. This work was motivated by the limited ...
This Thesis deals with incision (bed degradation or general bed scouring) in rivers. More specifically it deals with the incision caused by gravel mining and by dam removal. The main goal of the research is to know ...
La interacció dels organismes bentònics amb el sediment es relaciona, bàsicament, amb els processos de bioturbació i els de rugositat de fons. Els principals factors implicats en la mobilització de sediment a la plataforma ...
Regions isolated from the wind-driven circulation are found in the eastern margins of the world's tropical oceans. The weak and stagnant circulation of these so-called “shadow zones”, in combination with the intense ...
Wave storms and river inputs have been found to be the dominant forcing mechanism of sediment transport in continental shelves dominated by medium to large rivers around the world (e.g. Drake and Cacchione, 1985; Sherwood ...
In this research we tested two data analyses methodologies, namely the empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) to estimate hydrographic CTD data profiles, and a successive corrections algorithm (SC) to project the results ...
The objectives of the thesis were, on the one hand, to test the possibilities of a well-known experimental configuration (oscillating grid mixing box), used to study stratified fluids in turbulent flows with zero-mean, on ...
A high-resolution (~1.2km) 3D circulation model nested in one-way to a coarse-resolution (~4km) 3D regional model was used to examine the interaction between the Northern Current and the Blanes submarine canyon (~41°00’-41°46’N; ...
This dissertation aims at extending our knowledge of the ESP OMZ through two main approaches. The first approach is based on tracer analysis and inverse modeling techniques. Such techniques are applied to hydrographic ...
During the last two decades the scientific community has recognised the importance of the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the upwelling regions on the Earth's climate. This recognition has opened new questions such as: ¿What ...
