The morphodynamics of coastal aeolian systems is controlled by the relative sedimentary balance, i.e., the ratio between absolute sediment balance (influx-efflux) and accumulation space. The accumulation space depends on ...

In the last decade, the semiarid northeast of Brazil (Caatinga biome) has experienced one of the most prolonged and most severe droughts ever recorded in regional history. The study of the landscape changes contributes to ...

Numerical process-based morphodynamic models are widespread in coastal engineering practice and have become the new standard when it comes to assessing the impact of natural or man-made structures on coastal environments. ...

This study analyzed measurements of the aeolian transport using vertical sand traps across the field dunes of Jenipabu, in the municipality of Extremoz, Rio Grande do Norte state to the North of Natal city. These ...

El Golfo San Jorge tiene una forma semicircular abierta a las olas del Atlántico, con diferencias en la orientación de sus playas y por lo tanto en el efecto de los vientos dominantes del oeste. Su régimen macromareal ...

The study area is located in the northern cost of Rio Grande do Norte State, precisely to the west of Apodi-Mossoró River estuary including the cities of Tibau, Grossos and Mossoró. Geologicaly, this area is composed by ...
