    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

    Abstract : Nowadays importance of water balance regarding measurements and water cycle pathways are of prime interest in a new perspective. Global issues, like Earth warming, or regional planned uses of water, e.g. irrigation, demand an increase in accuracy and coverage of different components of the water balance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Seasonal Closure of Chilaw Inlet in Sri Lanka -Physical Processes and Mathematical Modelling-
