Studies of past sea-level markers are commonly used to unveil the tectonic history and seismic behavior of subduction zones. We present new evidence on vertical motions of the Hellenic subduction zone as resulting from a suite of Late Pleistocene - Holocene shorelines in western Crete (Greece). Shoreline ages obtained by AMS radiocarbon dating of seashells, together with the reappraisal of shor...

The reproductive performance of species provisioning offspring depends on both the availability of prey and the parental effort required to capture and deliver it. For example, in the strongly territorial breeding system of the Eurasian Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus, shoreline breeding territories are located adjacent to mudflats, where prey are captured, allowing offspring to accompany b...

This paper proposes a radar-based sensing system that estimates the coordinates for shorelines based on image-processing techniques. The proposed system provides shore estimations without appreciable loss of resolution and avoids the costs associated with bathymetries and/or satellite images. The system is comprised of a commercial radar, a GPS, and a heading sensor, which communicates to a cen...

The GENESIS model has proven its capabilities in numerous projects worldwide for simulating shoreline change and longshore sediment transport on wave-dominated beaches. Even though the model has been made generally applicable to “almost arbitrary” configurations of shoreline shapes and structural measures, some important features are not yet represented. This paper describes a new major capabil...

This study concerned the assessment of changes in coastline Kavvayi beach and its nine islands a tropical coastal wetland using remote sensing (RS) data geographic information systems (GIS), as this sedimentary environment is still poorly characterized. The satellite used were from LANDSAT images (30 m spatial resolution) (MSS—volume 5, TM, ETM, ETM+ volume 6) for period last 25 years (1990 to ...
