Thesis title: Morphodynamics of beaches in estuaries and bays (BEBs) in different hydrodynamic settings
Supervisors: Tristan Salles, Tommy Fellowes, Ana Vila Concejo
Thesis abstract:
«p»BEBs are commonly artificially modified for recreational and commercial purposes. In addition to providing opportunities for enjoyment and commercial gain, these beaches may also sustain crucial ecological and environmental functions. Due to low energy conditions and stream influence, they hold a unique ecosystem and environment. For instance, BEBs provide habitats and feeding grounds for fish and birds. Hence, it is crucial to prioritize the sustainable management of BEBs. However, many coastal management policies are skewed towards the morphological processes governing open coast beaches and may not be appropriate for the management of semi-protected BEBs. As we already know that their morphodynamic evolution is also different. So, it is important to understand BEBs morphodynamics across broad temporal-spatial scales in different hydrodynamic settings, with deeper investigations on geologic and hydrodynamic data urgently required. However, alterations to BEBs due to anthropogenic pressures result in various complicated planning and management issues. Hence, understanding the relative influence of different environmental variables including human stress on the BEBs morphodynamics will significantly enhance the beach management capability.«/p»
