The coastal zones’ geomorphological evolution is the result of subaereal weathering and marine abrasion. To quantify the role of the waves’ action as a geomorphic process particularly on shore platforms sculpture is the main goal of the current work. For that purpose, a numerical modeling for wave propagation (STWAVE) was used to determine differences on breaking wave characteristics along the study area. This ...
Longshore sediment transport in the Tróia-Sines litoral ribbon was evaluated by map comparison and applying energy flux method using numerical models. Results yielded a longshore transport residual rate in the order of 10 5 m3y-1 towards north. The comparison of the results with the ones obtained thought the analysis of the secular coastline evolution show that the empirical coefficient between the energy flux...
In the Tróia-Sines littoral ribbon five beaches were monitored in order to evaluate morphological and textural changes. The textural analysis reveals a southward coarsening trend that reflects an increase in the wave energy. The morphodynamic data indicate that the modal stages are intermediate to reflective, and that the available beach volume increases southwards. During storm periods the volumetric changes r...
