The submarine fault scarp of the 2011 Tohoku-oki Earthquake in the Japan Trench
Rupture of the plate boundary fault during the 2011 Tohoku-oki earthquake with moment magnitude 9.0 is thought to have propagated to the trench....

Volcanic impact on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in the Eastern Mediterranean
Natural disturbances such as volcanic eruptions provide a unique opportunity to study past ecological dynamics. Here we illustrate the response of...

Ocean tides can drag the atmosphere and cause tidal winds over broad continental shelves
Oceanic tides lead to some of the largest currents of the world ocean and have important implications for oceanic circulation. In the last decade,...

Operational forecasts of wave-driven water levels and coastal hazards for US Gulf and Atlantic coasts
Predictions of total water levels, the elevation of combined tides, surge, and wave runup at the shoreline, are necessary to provide guidance on...

Hydrodynamic Modelling for the Chilia—Bystroe Danube Sector: Model Calibration and Validation
Morpho-hydrodynamic changes are one of the major problems affecting the abiotic sphere and the ecological status of water bodies. In order to assess...

Ross Gyre variability modulates oceanic heat supply toward the West Antarctic continental shelf
West Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss is a major source of uncertainty in sea level projections. The primary driver of this melting is oceanic heat from...

Reservoir sedimentation and spatiotemporal land use changes in their watersheds: the case of two sub-catchments of the White Volta Basin
Reservoir storage is compromised by sedimentation for which reason it has become an important matter in reservoir operation and management. While...

Continental tapering of South America caused asymmetric non-uniform opening of the South Atlantic Ocean
South Atlantic opening has been typically modelled as being related to symmetric and static thermal upwelling and seafloor spreading that drive...

Global warming decreases connectivity among coral populations
Global warming is killing corals; however, the effects of warming on population connectivity, a process fundamental to reef recovery, are largely...

Sensitivity of Estuaries to Compound Flooding
Fluvial and surge-tide extremes can occur synchronously resulting in compound flooding in estuaries, greatly intensifying the hazard. This flood risk...

Paleobathymetric reconstructions of the SW Barents Seaway and their implications for Atlantic–Arctic ocean circulation
Unravelling past, large-scale ocean circulation patterns is crucial for deciphering the long-term global paleoclimate. Here we apply numerical...

Salt Marsh Morphological Evolution Under Plant Species Invasion
Species invasion in salt marsh wetlands is known to disturb the balance of biotic and abiotic ecosystems (e.g., changing material exchange cycles and...
-
Glacial troughs as centres of organic carbon accumulation on the Norwegian continental margin
The role of continental margin sediments in the carbon cycle and the associated management potential for climate mitigation are currently poorly...

Components and Tidal Modulation of the Wave Field in a Semi-enclosed Shallow Bay
The wave fields of coastal bays are comprised of waves generated by far-off storms that enter the bay to combine with waves generated locally by...
