Description

Estuaries and tidal basins are highly dynamic coastal systems that serve as a transition zone between the river and the ocean. The morphological evolution of these diverse environments is modulated by non-linear feedbacks between tides, meteorological forcing, and sediment transport processes. This thesis focuses on the fundamental links between these physical processes, and the geomorphologic characteristics of shallow estuarine systems, specifically: (i) how shallow basin geometries and hyp...
