Geomorphology of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica
(2019)
Costa Rica’s Caribbean coastline is the result of a complex tectonic setting coupled with dynamic geological, climatological, hydrological and ecological processes. Despite their importance in risk prevention and in land ...
ERS, ENVISAT AND SENTINEL DATA APPLICATION FOR CHANGE DETECTION IN AMAZON COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS
(Uniao Geomorfologia Brasileira, 2017-04-01)
The Amazon coast is marked by a high discharge of sediment and fresh water under the influence of the Amazon river. A broad continental shelf, extensive flood flats and higher plateaus, formed in older sedimentary rocks, ...
Dinâmica costeira entre as praias de Areia Preta e do Forte, Natal/RN
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do NorteBRUFRNPrograma de Pós-Graduação em GeografiaDinâmica e Reestruturação do Território, 2011-02-24)
The coastal zone has been studied worldwide with a focus on the coastal erosion. In the present days, much of the world's coastlines are being affected by erosion, which causes great damage to the economy. This work had ...
Phytoplanktonic primary production modulated by coastal geomorphology in a highly dynamic environment of central Chile.
(2009)
Coastal upwelling circulation has a regional fertilizing effect upon phytoplanktonic communities (i.e. enhancement of photosynthetic rates, increased biomass), but its influence at smaller spatial and temporal scales is ...
Sensitivity of the Near-Shore Oceanic Circulation Off Central Chile to Coastal Wind Profiles Characteristics
(2019)
In Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS), the upwelling favorable wind speeds decrease toward the coast in the so-called wind drop-off coastal strip, which has been shown to be influential on the coastal upwelling ...
