Viral Metagenomic Content Reflects Seawater Ecological Quality in the Coastal Zone

Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Stylianos Fodelianakis

Viruses interfere with their host's metabolism through the expression of auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that, until now, are mostly studied under large physicochemical gradients. Here, we focus on coastal marine ecosystems and we sequence the viral metag ...

Thermal Effects on Flow and Salinity Distributions in Coastal Confined Aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Ho Ling Li, Li Pu

Coastal aquifers provide an important hydrologic connection between terrestrial freshwater and oceanic seawater. Understanding the water flow and salinity distributions in those aquifers is essential to manage seawater intrusion and regional groundwater re ...

Desalinization and Salinization: A Review of Major Challenges for Coastal Reservoirs

David Andrew Barry

Coastal reservoirs are a possible solution to water supply and management issues in coastal zones. However, salinization can degrade the utility of such reservoirs. Two related major challenges affecting the operation of a coastal reservoir are desalinizat ...

Effects of groundwater on desalinization in coastal reservoir and adjacent aquifer

David Andrew Barry

Coastal reservoir provides the additional storage capacity of freshwater in coastal zone which greatly alleviate the water shortage in stressed areas, and the salinization of reservoir water degrade the utility of coastal reservoir. Salinization may result ...

Physical and economic consequences of sea-level rise: A coupled GIS and CGE analysis under uncertainties

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Santosh Ram Joshi

This paper develops a modelling framework that links GEMINI-E3, a multi-regional, multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium model with a cost-benefit analysis approach at local level using geographical information system tools to assess the physical an ...

Influence of tides and waves on the fate of nutrients in a nearshore aquifer: Numerical simulations

David Andrew Barry, Clare Robinson

A numerical investigation is presented that demonstrates the influence of tides and waves on the transport and transformation of nutrients (NO3-; NH4+; PO43-) in a homogeneous unconfined nearshore aquifer and subsequent fluxes to the sea. Simulations of an ...

Hydroclimatology of dual-peak annual cholera incidence: Insights from a spatially explicit model

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto

Cholera incidence in some regions of the Indian subcontinent may exhibit two annual peaks although the main environmental drivers that have been linked to the disease (e.g., sea surface temperature, zooplankton abundance, river discharge) peak once per yea ...

The Hydro-Morphological Index of Diversity : a Planning Tool for River Restoration Projects

Walter Gostner

Contemporary river engineering must guarantee effective long-term flood protection while also improving stream ecology. Nowadays, river engineering projects must aim at optimizing hydromorphological heterogeneity, as this is an acknowledged basic condition ...

Cross-shore sediment transport estimation using fuzzy inference system in the swash zone

Roham Bakhtyar

The interactions between fluid and sediment in the swash zone dominate the erosion or accretion of the beach, and they act as boundary conditions for nearshore hydrodynamic and morphodynamic models. Thus, the evaluation of sediment transport is of particul ...

Hydropeaking indicators for characterization of the Upper-Rhone River in Switzerland

Anton Schleiss, Tobias Meile

River channelization and the construction of high-head storage schemes have been the basis of agricultural and socio-economic development in many alpine regions. One example is the Upper-Rhone River in Switzerland. The Upper-Rhone's morphology changed cons ...

Effects of wave forcing on a subterranean estuary

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar, Clare Robinson

Wave and tide are important forcing factors that typically co-exist in coastal environments. A numerical study was conducted to investigate individual and combined effects of these forces on flow and mixing processes in a near-shore subterranean estuary. A ...

Tidal influence on BTEX biodegradation in sandy coastal aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Clare Robinson

A numerical study was conducted to investigate the influence of tides on the fate of terrestrially-derived BTEX discharging through an unconfined aquifer to coastal waters. Previous studies have revealed that tide-induced seawater circulations create an ac ...

A new approach for studying small scale turbulence in the thermocline region of Lake of Geneva

Damien Bouffard

The aim of this PhD thesis is to contribute to a better understanding of turbulent mixing in lakes. This research is focused on the response dynamics of the stratified Lake of Geneva to strong wind forcing. We especially investigated the dynamics of small ...
