Historical Sea Level in the South Pacific from Rescued Archives, Geodetic Measurements, and Satellite Altimetry
Automatic sea-level measurements in Nouméa, South Pacific, started in 1957 for the International Geophysical year. Data from this location exist in paper record for the 1957–1967 period, and in…
Homogenous regions based on extremogram for regional frequency analysis of extreme skew storm surges
To resist marine submersion, coastal protection must be designed by taking into account the most accurate estimate of the return levels of extreme events, such as storm surges. However, because of…
A case study on the growth of Lanice conchilegas (Pallas, 1766) aggregations and their ecosystem engineering impact on sedimentary processes
Ecosystem engineers are organisms that modulate natural resources enabling the survival of other species. They drive environmental change and contribute to several coastal functional attributes…
The effect of wind induced bottom shear stress and salinity on Zostera noltii replanting in a Mediteerranean coastal lagoon
The paper concerns the wind influence on bottom shear stress and salinity levels in a Mediterranean semi-enclosed coastal lagoon (Etang de Berre), with respect to a replanting program of Zostera…
Azimuth selection for sea level measurements using geodetic GPS receivers
Based on analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) multipath signals recorded by a geodetic GPS receiver, GPS Reflectometry (GPS-R) has demonstrated unique advantages in relation to sea level…
Investigating the effects of sea-level rise on morphodynamics in the western Giens tombolo, France
Rising sea level along with the occurrence of greater and more frequent storms would cause not only coastal flooding, but also beach erosion and shoreline retreat problems. The Almanarre beach…
Multi-Satellite Altimeter Validation along the French Atlantic Coast in the Southern Bay of Biscay from ERS-2 to SARAL
Monitoring changes in coastal sea levels is necessary given the impacts of climate change. Information on the sea level and its changes are important parameters in connection to climate change…
Tidal downscaling from the open ocean to the coast: a new approach applied to the Bay of Biscay
Downscaling physical processes from a large scale to a regional scale 3D model is a recurrent issue in coastal processes studies. The choice of boundary conditions will often greatly influence the…
Scalable Interactive Platform for Geographic Evaluation of Sea-Level Rise Impact Combining High-Performance Computing and WebGIS Client
As the climate is changing, more applied information on resulting impacts are required to inform adaptation planning . Over the last decade, the amount of information relevant to climate change…
