The availability of nearly 100 years of bathymetric measurements allows the analysis of the morphodynamic evolution of the Dutch Wadden Sea under rising sea-level and increasing human constraint. The historically observed roll-over... more
A series of regular bathymetric surveys of Texel Inlet and its ebb-tidal delta spanning a period of over 400 years forms a unique long-term morphodynamic dataset of this largest inlet of the Wadden Sea. The substantial changes in... more
Coastal seas, and in particular estuarine systems, were significantly affected by Quaternary sea level changes. Furthermore, the dynamics of shelf and coastal evolution have had a strong impact on coastal landscapes inhabited by humans.... more
Riassunto-in questo lavoro è stata ricostruita la variazione della linea di riva dell'intero litorale pisano per il periodo 1938-2004 e sono state valutate quantitativamente le corrispondenti variazioni areali di spiaggia. Lo studio... more
The multitude of human activities and the dynamic interactions with the land and sea add complexity and challenges to managing the land-sea zone, particularly in a changing climate. This paper aims to inform future land-sea interactions... more
This study aims to evaluate the influence of the dried meat industry and the river harbour in the process of littoralisation in Ceará. However, it is necessary to investigate diachronically how this occurred between the 17th and 18th... more
The evolution of tidal basins greatly depends on the interaction between the tide and basin morphology. This interaction results in deformation of the tidal wave which can change the tidal flow, and thus the sediment transport, at the... more

A detailed identification of geomophological units and their integration with archaeological data allowed us to obtain some preliminary elements for better understanding the palaeogeographic evolution of the Camaiore coastal plain. The... more
ABSTRACT This work aims to understand how a coast, which was forgotten or even ignored by European colonizers during the sixteenth century, is now a major tourist destination in 21st century Brazil. Fortaleza city is a pertinent example... more
