Morphodynamics of tidal networks: advances and challenges

Morphodynamics of tidal networks: advances and challenges
Morphodynamics of tidal networks: advances and challenges
Tidal network morphodynamics is an active field of research and advances achieved over the last decade, particularly with respect to laboratory experiments and numerical modelling, have lead to fundamental insight about their functioning. We address how these advances have specifically contributed to the understanding of tidal network functioning, including the interaction between physical and biological processes. We discuss how the prediction of the long-term evolution of tidal networks is still limited and we focus on how it is hampered by three specific challenges. We first discuss the approach to long-term predictions, then focus on the coupling between physical and biological processes, and finally attempt to introduce the role of anthropic drivers in the evolution of these systems.

Abstract

Tidal network morphodynamics is an active field of research and advances achieved over the last decade, particularly with respect to laboratory experiments and numerical modelling, have lead to fundamental insight about their functioning. We address how these advances have specifically contributed to the understanding of tidal network functioning, including the interaction between physical and biological processes. We discuss how the prediction of the long-term evolution of tidal networks is still limited and we focus on how it is hampered by three specific challenges. We first discuss the approach to long-term predictions, then focus on the coupling between physical and biological processes, and finally attempt to introduce the role of anthropic drivers in the evolution of these systems.
