  1. 1. Assessment of Embodied Energy and Carbon Emissions of the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon from a Life Cycle Perspective

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Avdelningen för ekoteknik och hållbart byggande

    Author : Peter Simon; [2015]
    Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment; embodied energy; carbon emissions; tidal energy; tidal lagoon; renewable energy; Swansea Bay;

    Abstract : In the pursuit of low-carbon, renewable energy sources one option with great potential in the UK is tidal energy. Specifically the proposed construction of the Swansea Bay Tidal Lagoon (SBTL) in South Wales has become one such discussed option. READ MORE

  3. 2. Sediment transport and coastal evolution at Thuan An Inlet, Vietnam

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Eva-Lena Eriksson; Madeleine Hjertstrand Persson; [2014]
    Keywords : Thuan An; Hoa Duan; Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon system; lagoon; inlet; groin; longshore sediment transport; Thua Thien-Hue province; GENESIS; Huong River; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon is located outside of Hue in central Vietnam. Southeast of Thuan An inlet, one of the two inlets of the lagoon, a groin was constructed in 2008 as a measure to reduce the sediment transport to prevent the inlet from closing. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hydrodynamic Modeling of the Mundaú-Manguaba Estuarine-Lagoon System, Brazil

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Staffan Nilsson; Linnea Larsson; [2014]
    Keywords : MMELS; CELMM; IPH-ECO; Mundaú lagoon; Manguaba lagoon; choked lagoon; Maceió; hydrodynamic modeling; water quality forecasting; Aqua troll 200; bathymetry; water exchange; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Background Lagoons are shallow coastal water bodies which occupy 13 % of the world’s total coastlines. Healthy lagoons have a rich aquatic fauna and can provide an economic benefit for the people living in its vicinity. Due to anthropogenic activities, the water quality in many lagoons is deteriorating. READ MORE

  5. 4. An Investigation of Exchange Rates in the Tam Giang-Cau Hai Lagoon System, Vietnam, through Hydrodynamic Modeling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Michael Tushaj; [2009]
    Keywords : SMS; water exchange; engineering; Vietnam; Water Resources; lagoon; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon system, two inter-connected and naturally occurring coastal lagoons located in the Thua Thien-Hue province of Vietnam, comprises two inlets: Thuan An and Tu Hien. The Thuan An and Tu Hien inlets connect the lagoon system to the South China Sea and they are subjected to morphologic changes due to sediment transport effects. READ MORE

  6. 5. Hydrodynamic modelling and estimation of exchange rates for Bardawil Lagoon, Egypt. An investigation of governing forces and physical processes using numerical models.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Jonas Linnersund; Erik Mårtensson; [2008]
    Keywords : Fysisk geografi; climatology; cartography; Environmental studies; Miljöstudier; wind; water balance; tide; sediment transport; salt balance; renewal time; net intertidal volume; finite element; internal circulation; ADCIRC; CMS-Flow; Bardawil Lagoon; Physical geography; pedology; geomorphology; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Technological sciences; Teknik; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Bardawil Lagoon, a natural lagoon located on the northern coast of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, there are three inlets of which two are man-made connecting the lagoon with the Mediterranean Sea. The inlets are subjected to changes in morphology, due to sediment transport, over time and this may lead to degrees of closure of either inlet. READ MORE
