Coasts, Volume 5, Issue 1

It is estimated that around 10% of the world’s population lives in low-lying coastal areas, with an altitude of up to 10 m: considered vulnerable to unequivocal sea level rise, as result of climate change. This study sought to assess the coasta...

The abnormal proliferation of Ulva in the Yellow Sea has instigated the notorious green tide phenomenon. Mitigating this ecological challenge necessitates a holistic comprehension of Ulva’s nitrogen and phosphorus uptake behaviors. Investigatin...

Foam pollution in the tailwater discharge from coastal power plants poses a significant challenge. However, the mechanisms underlying foam formation and stability remain understudied, which hinders the development of effective control strategies. Thi...

Since 2011, recurring Sargassum Brown Tides (SBTs), caused by periodic massive influxes of holopelagic Sargassum spp., have impacted seagrass meadows in the 50–200 m wide nearshore fringes of Mexican Caribbean reef lagoons. The present study ai...

A new marine climate metric, marine season, is introduced for Foxe Basin, Nunavut, Canada capturing the time of the year that the Basin is influenced by open water. The metric is developed with a day-to-day temperature variability framework using the...

This study addresses the challenge of identifying pollutant sources in aquatic coastal environments using inverse problem techniques hampered by particularities in hydrodynamic and Lagrangian models. An approach is presented employing the General Inv...

Background: By 2050, most of the global human population will live in coastal regions, and the climatic impacts on these areas represent a significant concern for governments, private sector companies, and societies. Thus, environmental management of...

Microplastics (MPs) are polymeric particles, mainly fossil-based, widely found in marine ecosystems, linked to environmental and public health impacts due to their persistence and ability to carry pollutants. In São Paulo’s northern coas...

The River Ter is one of the axes which, in a west-east direction, has historically articulated the population of the extreme north-east of the Iberian Peninsula. Although its upper, middle and part of the lower courses do not present any problems in...

Shoreline measurement techniques using satellite-derived imagery can provide decades of observations of shoreline change. Here we apply these techniques to the western south shore of Long Island, New York, which has three distinct beaches, Rockaway P...

This study investigated the thermo-hydrodynamic groundwater environment of a sandy beach where a unique sand bathing method attracts many visitors. The discussed temperatures covered a wide range, from the normal to the boiling temperature of water....
