  1. 1. Long-term morphological evolution of Cua Lo inlet, Central Vietnam

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Nikita Tegenfeldt; Orio Johansson; [2020]
    Keywords : Inlet morphology; Sand spit; Water exchange; Numerical modelling; Cua Lo river mouth; Sediment transport; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cua Lo river mouth is a coastal inlet connected to an estuary at the central coast of Vietnam. The area is valuable for maritime trade, fishing industries, and tourism development. Natural disasters during the monsoon period are a problem, causing seasonal flooding. READ MORE

  3. 2. Coastal evolution at Macaneta spit, Mozambique - an analysis of longshore and cross-shore processes

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Christofer Karlsson; Johan Liljedahl; [2015]
    Keywords : Macaneta spit; Maputo; Mozambique; overwash; erosion; breaching; cross-shore modeling; longshore modeling; EBED; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Macaneta spit is located about 30km north of Maputo, Mozambique, with the Indian Ocean on the east side and Incomáti River on the west side of the spit, composing an interesting and vulnerable area from a hydrodynamic point of view. Few studies regarding coastal processes are done in the area and changes of the morphology could result in breaching of the spit and thereby affect both accessibility to the spit and the water supply for irrigation in the region.
