A wireless beach profiler was designed using a vertically aligned accelerometer to estimate slopes along several points of the beach. The accelerometer output from each point was measured as a tilt angle by a microcontroller ...

A suitable knowledge of coastal systems, of their morphodynamic characteristics and their response to storm events and man-made structures is essential for littoral conservation and management. Nowadays webcams represent ...

Beaches respond in several time and space scales to physical phenomena like wind, waves, tides, storm-surges, littoral currents, river discharges and sea level rise. As a dynamical system they can also be changed due to ...

Antimicrobial resistance of marine heterotrophic bacteria to different antimicrobials agents were evaluated in seawater, dry and wet sands from three marine recreational beaches with different pollution levels. In all ...

Cabo Falso is located on the southern coast of the Baja California peninsula. The beach is broad and wide with a steep face and tall foredunes on the backshore. Landwards, an active, predominantly parabolic dune field has ...

Coastal erosion is a critical problem that affects several countries around the World that would increase concerning the anthropogenic sea-level rise. Gravel beaches have proved to be more stable facing coastal erosion. ...

Bacterial resistance is a rising problem all over the world. Many studies have showed that beach sands can contain higher concentration of microorganisms and represent a risk to public health. This paper aims to evaluate ...
