Hola a todo el mundo,

El viernes que viene haremos un seminario en el IMEDEA.

- TITULO: "Shoreline evolution associated to sea-level rise: revision of beach equilibrium profile application"

- PONENTE: Pau Luque Lozano, Estudiante PhD, IMEDEA

-RESUMEN: Shoreline position is a key parameter of a beach state, used as a descriptor of the system response to changes in external forcings, such as sea-level rise. Changes in shoreline position are the result of hydro- and morphodynamic processes taking place in the nearshore, including feedback mechanisms. Due to this complexity, state-of-the-art methodologies aimed at reproducing the variability of the shoreline are based on several assumptions that simplify the problem. One of the most widespread methods uses a beach equilibrium profile whose shape depends only on the beach morphology (i.e., beach slope, berm) and whose location varies with sea level. We derived a general equation for shoreline evolution using the equilibrium profile, and we used it to evaluate the contribution of sea-level rise to shoreline evolution under wave forcing. We also derived analytical closed-form expressions to this shoreline evolution for a 2/3-power curve equilibrium profile and for three different probability distributions of breaking wave height (corresponding to three different families commonly used to describe wave climate). When used to analyze the effects of sea-level rise, it is not constrained to sea-level rises small compared to the berm height.
