Coastal Restoration Agreements Under Climate Change: Barriers and Enablers Open
Coastal ecosystems are becoming less resilient under climate (e.g., sea-level rise, warming, acidification) and human (e.g., urbanization, coastal hardening, and river regulation) pressures, forcing local communities to face increasing ris…

Posidonia oceanica banquette accumulations in southern Catalonia: management approaches and key parameters for coastal protection Open
Seagrass banquettes, formed primarily by Posidonia oceanica , play a critical role in coastal protection and sediment dynamics. However, due to their perceived negative impact on seaside tourism, local authorities frequently remove these a…

Coastal Restoration Agreements Under Climate Change: Barriers and Enablers Open
Coastal ecosystems are becoming less resilient under climate (e.g. sea-level rise, warming, acidification) and human (e.g. urbanization, coastal rigidization an driver regulation) pressures, forcing local communities to face increasing ris…

Trade-offs and synergies in river-coastal restoration for the Ebro case (Spanish Mediterranean) Open
The paper tackles some of the major challenges associated with coastal risk reduction, based on restored river-delta-coast continuums. The presented approach builds on the Ebro River-Delta system, located in the Spanish Mediterranean coast…

What-if nature-based storm buffers on mitigating coastal erosion Open
Creating ecosystem buffers in intertidal zones, such as seagrass meadows, has gained increasing attention as a nature-based solution for mitigating storm-driven coastal erosion. This study presents what-if scenarios using an integrated mod…

Present and future flooding and erosion along the NW Spanish Mediterranean Coast Open
Coastal flooding and eros-ion caused by extreme events are the main factors responsible for beach hazards. This effect will be exacerbated by the sea level rise induced by climate change. The present work determines the vulnerability to er…

COAWST-XBeach nesting strategy validation for the Celia storm at the Barceloneta beach Open
Celia storm was an intense event that hit the NW Mediterranean Spanish coast during March 2022. During those dates a study was conducted where 2 instrumented platforms were installed, together with the gathering of high-resolution topobath…

Statistical comparison of different strategies to reduce computational time within high resolution hydromorphodynamic modelling Open
<p>Hydromorphodynamic modelling has as one of its pillars the speed of obtaining results. Sometimes it is only due to the necessity to finish some work or to make other simulations but for example when talking about operational syste…

Pima Adapta Costas, a Characterisation of Flooding and Erosion Under Different Climate Change Scenarios Along the Catalan Coast Open
Climate change, with sea level rise as one of its main consequences, will heavily change the dynamics of the coast in the next years. The assessment of the impacts that could cause is a key issue to anticipate measures and reduce risks, ma…

Morphodynamic forecast uncertainty due to bathymetry unknowns Open
<p>Operational morphodynamic modelling is becoming an attractive tool for managers to forecast and reduce coastal risks. The development of highly sophisticated numerical models during the last decades has underpinned the simulation …
