Sediment Transport using Grain Size Trend Analysis: A Case Study in SW of Portugal
Du, XIAOQIN; Gama, Cristina; Liu, JamesAs a embayed coast, the main sediment sources are fluvial discharges, sea-cliff erosion and sand carried by longshore currents [1]. The particles are transported in suspended load or bedload pattern under the coactions of tidal currents and waves. In response to sediment transport processes, the spatial variations in the grain-size parameters exist, that reflect the net particles transport trend and the dynamic...

Cabecinhas, Rosa; Liu, James H.; Licata, Laurent; Klein, Olivier; Feijó, João; Mendes, Júlio; Niyubahwe, AlineData on social representations of world history have been collected everywhere in the world except sub-Saharan Africa. Two studies using open-ended data involving university students from six African countries fill this gap.

Participants were 1183 university students from Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Cape Verde. Four supra-level dimensions in the representations of the past were found: History as progress and leaders-oriented, history as focus...
Shadowing effects on beach morphodynamics during storm events on Tróia-Sines em...
Jacob, José; Gama, Pereira; Salgado, Rui; Liu, James; Silva, Ana MariaThe prediction of storm effects on coastline is essential to coastal management and represents a critical issue for the scientific community discussion. In this paper we used SWAN and Méso-NH models to simulate the wave pattern along a ten’s kilometre-scale sandy coastline (TSEC, Tróia-Sines Embayed Coast). The obtained results indicate a shelter effect of the Espichel Cape in the northern half of the TSEC for ...
''Remembering'' World War II and willingness to fight : sociocultural factors i...
Paez, Dario; Liu, James H.; Techio, Elza; Slawuta, Patricia; Zlobina, Anya; Cabecinhas, RosaStudents from 22 nations answered a survey on the most important events in world history.
