Abstract Tidal channels form the pathways for tidal currents to propagate and distribute clastic sediments nutrients, thus providing a primary control on tidal‐landscape ecomorphodynamics. Most in both estuarine lagoonal environments have tendency meander, yet very few studies exist that investigate full spectrum of processes controlling meander morpho‐sedimentary evolution. The Venice Lagoon (Italy) offers unique opportunity shed light this topic, because long record morphological...
Abstract Pleistocene strata of the Wadden Sea region are mostly covered by an up to 10m thick sediment wedge deposited during Holocene transgression. However, tidal inlets cut deep into succession, causing Middle early glacial and interglacial deposits outcrop at channel bottom. To investigate how lithological properties and/or morphologies these affect development (e.g. limiting erosional processes), we analysed a series eight cores verify three high-resolution sub-bottom transects – thus...
The anthropogenic impact in the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is high due to presence of manifold industries (e.g., wind farms, shipping, and fishery). Therefore, it great importance evaluate different impacts such industries, order enable reasonable sustainable decisions on environmental issues nature conservation). Bottom trawling has a significant benthic habitats worldwide. Fishing gear penetrates seabed resulting furrows temporarily remain sediment known as trawl marks (TM),...
Abstract Palaeolandscape reconstructions at the German North Sea coast are essential for understanding of coastal changes and dynamic landscape-forming processes. This study contributes to reconstructing Holocene in back-barrier area East Frisian island Norderney draws conclusions on local palaeogeography. Five sediment cores were analysed terms sedimentology (grain-size distribution), geochemistry (TOC, TIC, N, C/N), microfauna (foraminifers ostracods) 13 radiocarbon dates. In order...
Abstract Tidal ecosystems like the Wadden Sea are particularly valuable for their ecological and economic importance. Here, natural dynamics of abiotic biotic processes is threatened by human pressure, great efforts made on mapping monitoring programs. Remote sensing techniques (e.g., satellite airborne sources) commonly used land intertidal areas, whereas hydroacoustic devices deployed in subtidal zones. The overlap hydroacoustics (sidescan sonar) Lidar data such sensitive transitional zone...
Abstract The reconstruction of submerged palaeolandscapes and detection settling surfaces along coastal zones became a major research topic within the last two decades. In this context, WASA project made use multidisciplinary approach for defining extension describing characteristics Late Pleistocene to Holocene deposits in central Wadden Sea region. addition sub-bottom transects, more than 140 sediment cores were taken such an area stratigraphic reconstruction, making multi-proxy analysis....
