1. 1. 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.

3. 2. Modeling wave, currents and sediment transport in Ystad Bay

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Seyed Abbas Hosseini Sadabadi; [2012]
   Keywords : Ystad Bay; EBED Model; SWAN; Modelling Wave; Sediment Transport; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Coastal areas around the world are being shaped by many natural phenomena, as well as by man-induced activities. Hydrodynamic phenomena such as wind-generated waves, extreme storms and seasonal tides cause a continued change in topography and the natural sediment formation in the nearshore zone as a result of erosion and accumulation.
