Sediment dynamics in the vicinity of river mouths reveal complex patterns due to the joined effect of river discharges, tides and waves. These phenomena underlie current mathematical and simulation models, which constitute powerful tools that can be used as a complement to monitoring field work for the characterization of morphodynamical patterns in these complex coastal environments. The Cávado estuary inlet i...
Tese de doutoramento em Geologia ; As praias arenosas da zona costeira de Esposende (NO de Portugal), ocupando uma faixa de cerca de 15km de comprimento segundo uma orientação geral N-S, desde a foz do rio Neiva até à Apúlia, têm sofrido erosão acentuada, e sido , gradualmente substituídas por praias de seixos, cuja permanência é, agora, uma constante desde praia a Foz do Neiva até Cepães. Segundo a terminolog...
The Cávado estuary inlet is situated in the coastal zone of Esposende (NW Portugal) where sandy beaches have migrated inland and thinned, and cliffs have retreated rapidly over the last years. The coastal zone of Esposende extends over 15 km from the Neiva River until Apúlia. The coastal segment of Esposende can be considered of mixed energy and wave-dominated type, according to DAVIS and HAYES (1984). The loca...
