The Pristine dwarf galaxy survey-V. The edges of the dwarf galaxy Hercules

Pascale Jablonka, Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We present a new spectroscopic study of 175 stars in the vicinity of the dwarf galaxy Hercules (d similar to 132 kpc) with data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope and its AAOmega spectrograph together with the Two Degree Field multi-object system to solve ...

Estuarine tidal response to sea level rise: The significance of entrance restriction

Giovanni De Cesare, Steve Hottinger

Estuarine environments, as dynamic low-lying transition zones between rivers and the open sea, are vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). To evaluate the potential impacts of SLR on estuarine responses, it is necessary to examine the altered tidal dynamics, i ...

Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part I: Flow and turbulence fields

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

The major objective of this study was to develop further understanding of 3D nearshore hydrodynamics under a variety of wave and tidal forcing conditions. The main tool used was a comprehensive 3D numerical model – combining the flow module of Delft3D with ...

Statistical characterization of spatiotemporal sediment dynamics in the Venice lagoon

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

Characterizing the dynamics of suspended sediment is crucial when investigating the long-term evolution of tidal landscapes. Here we apply a widely tested mathematical model which describes the dynamics of cohesive and noncohesive sediments, driven by the ...

Ecomorphodynamics of rivers with converging boundaries

Paolo Perona, Benoît Crouzy, Peter Molnar

Many rivers worldwide show converging sections where a characteristic limiting front for vegetation establishment on gravel bars is observed. An important conceptual model was advanced in 2006 by Gurnell and Petts, who demonstrated that for the convergent ...

Signatures of sea level changes on tidal geomorphology: Experiments on network incision and retreat

Andrea Rinaldo

How do tidal networks respond to changes in relative mean sea level (RMSL)? The question on whether the morphological features of a tidal landscape retain signatures of past environmental forcings, or are in equilibrium with current ones, is critical to ou ...

The importance of being coupled: Stable states and catastrophic shifts in tidal biomorphodynamics

Andrea Rinaldo

We describe and apply a point model of the joint evolution of tidal landforms and biota which incorporates the dynamics of intertidal vegetation; benthic microbial assemblages; erosional, depositional, and sediment exchange processes; wind-wave dynamics, a ...

Design and Performance Assessment of a Tidal Ducted Turbine

François Avellan, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior, Marcel Vonlanthen

Tidal Current Energy can be eligible as one of the most interesting renewable and clean energy resources with the promise of a regular and predictable production of electricity. In the framework of the "MWATFORCE" Project from GUINARD Energies, a ducted ti ...

Tidal influence on BTEX biodegradation in sandy coastal aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Clare Robinson

A numerical study was conducted to investigate the influence of tides on the fate of terrestrially-derived BTEX discharging through an unconfined aquifer to coastal waters. Previous studies have revealed that tide-induced seawater circulations create an ac ...
