(2024)Extreme Sea Level Rise (ESLR) refers to the significant elevation in ocean levels driven by climate change and other anthropogenic and geophysical factors. This phenomenon poses a substantial threat to coastal populations, ...
-
(2024)Rising sea levels, increasing air temperatures, and recurring extreme weather events make coastal freshwater more susceptible to salination. This study investigates the relationship between salinity in the Dobrica, Dobra, ...
-
(2024)Riccione is a town (near Rimini) on Romagna coast, with a small port and with the problem of coastal erosion that, reducing the width of the beaches, can create great problems for tourist activities and buildings in case ...
-
(2024)The role of renewable energy sources is changing as they are set to replace fossil sources to accomplish the energy requirements in the next future. The direction is set, and energy planners specified quite close dates ...
-
(2024)The study area is the Ombrone River delta (South of Tuscany, Italy), a wave dominated delta, formed during the last 2500 years. Beach ridges, a characteristic depositional landform of wave dominated delta, cross the entire ...
-
(2024)Pollution by plastics and other chemical pollutants is outside of safe operating space of the planetary boundary for humanity. Scientific evidence shows that to address plastic pollution, it is urgently needed to deploy ...
-
(2024)Sandy coasts, representing 40% of global shorelines, are essential for coastal defence and ecosystems. Natural solutions are increasingly studied to provide beach protection while enhancing ecosystem services, such as ...
-
(2024)This study focused on novel histological indicators correlated with macroscopic reproductive parameters in male and female European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus). Weekly sampling from commercial catches in the Gulf of ...
-
(2024)Numerical Wave Tanks (NWTs) powered by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and High-Performance Computing (HPC) offer a cost-effective and flexible alternative to physical wave tanks. They are essential for simulating complex ...
-
(2024)There is an increase in reporting of marine litter in coastal ecosystems globally, especially in recent years. A literature review was carried out to identify the primary impacts and effects its presence may have on coastal ...
-
(2024)The research phenomenon of the ‘urban and natural landscape relation’ as landscape setting of cities, testifies to 25 centuries of urban culture in the Mediterranean. The holistic understanding of the landscape relation ...
-
(2024)Seawater Intrusion (SI) is a critical problem as a consequence of climate change. The progression of the salt wedge inland compromises the quality and quantity of groundwater, seriously damaging agriculture and gradually ...
-
(2024)The Mediterranean monk seal Monachus monachus was once a common inhabitant of the Mediterranean Sea. Over time, its distribution has experienced a sharp reduction, primarily attributed to various factors stemming from human ...
-
(2024)Understanding ecosystem dynamics in an era of global change and declining biodiversity requires monitoring biotic components such as plant behaviors and traits. Innovative integrated systems using high-frequency digital ...
-
(2024)Gelatinous zooplankton, widespread in pelagic environments, pose a challenge for surveillance due to their delicate, see-through bodies. Their presence often seems irregular, with fluctuating populations occasionally forming ...
-
(2024)Coastal areas characterized by sandy shorelines are among the most dynamic environments and subject to deep and rapid changes over time under the influence of natural and anthropic factors. Therefore, reconstructing the ...
-
(2024)Transitional waters represent high valuable wetlands characterized by extremely dynamic processes and irregular temporal trends. These coastal areas are vulnerable interface systems sensitive to natural and human pressures ...
-
(2024)Coralligenous reefs are the main biogenic construction of the Mediterranean Sea and one of the most sensitive habitats for which European legislation requires monitoring and quality assessment plans. The heterogeneity of ...
-
(2024)Urban forests are particularly significant as they enhance quality of life by fostering social connections and improving physical and mental health. They also reduce pollution, lower heating and cooling costs, increase ...
-
(2024)The paper studies the impact of nourishment with coarse sand at Locos beach in Torrevieja, Spain, in January 2020, on coastal dynamics. The objective is to model the changes in wave heights, currents, and potential sediment ...
