Bathymetric Changes

In order to study the effects of dredging on the residence time of the water in Buenaventura Bay, a 2D finite elements hydrodynamic model was coupled with a particle tracking model. After calibrating and validating the hydrodynamic model, two scenarios that represented the bathymetric changes generated by the dredging process were simulated. The results of the comparison of the simulated scenarios, showed an important reduction in the velocities fields that allow an increase of the residence time up to 12 days in some areas of the bay. In the scenario without dredging, that is, with original bathymetry, residence times of up to 89 days were found.

A New Species

Two new dasycladalean species from the Upper Cretaceous of the Mountain Pastrik, Kukes Cretaceous Unit of the Mirdita Zone are described: Trinocladus divnae sp. nov. is characterized by variable size of the thallus, relatively narrow main axis, typical Trinocladus organization of the laterals and thin calcification limited to the distal part of the thallus which includes a swollen part of secondaries and short tertiaries. Often, the internal portion of the whorls (except sometimes the main stem membrane), tends to dissolve and form dissolution cavities filled with cement. Montiella filipovici sp. nov. is characterized by a primary skeleton made of a thin individual sheath around a fertile ampullae, often obliterated by recrystallization. Four to six laterals, each giving one secondary and one fertile ampulla located on the upper side of the relatively thick short primary lateral. Upper Cenomanian limestone with Cisalveolina fraasi and Trinocladus divnae sp. nov. was deposited immediately before the events that resulted in sea level rising. The middle and upper Cenomanian eustatic-tectonic processes had different effects in the Pastrik shallow water areas, depending on the distance from the basinal part of the Unit. Bathymetric changes in a part of the Pastrik sedimentary area were not significant, even negligible. Montiella filipovici is found in the post-fraasi shallow water sequence, assigned to the ?uppermost Cenomanian-lowermost Turonian (= Whiteinella archaeocretacea Zone p. p.; a short stratigraphic gap, in a part of the area, is noted). Shallow water limestone with Turonian taxa, corresponding to the helvetca Zone, occurs a few meters upward. Supplementary note: the species Cylindroporella parva RADOICIC is transferred in the genus Montiella, the species Permocalculus elliotti JOHNSON is transferred in the genus Trinocladus, while the species Trinocladus bellus YU JING is transferred in the genus Belzungia.

Bathymetric Changes

The Riva River is located on the Anatolian (Asian) side of Istanbul by the Black Sea coast, with a wonderful sandy beach and delta formation which has been selected as the study area. The Riva is the largest river in this region, which flows into the Black Sea and also gives its’ name to the area. The river carries some amount of sediments to the Black Sea. These particles cause considerable changes not only in the bed bathymetry and coastal boundaries of the river but also along the coastline of the Black Sea. The aim of this study is to determine these variations by means of satellite data and GIS. In the study, satellite images dated 1975, 1984, 1992 and 2001 have been used. At the end of the study, the possibility of observing bathymetric changes in front of the coastline by means of satellite data has been investigated and results were evaluated and visualised by means of GIS.

Bathymetric Changes

<p>Operational morphodynamic modelling is becoming an attractive tool for managers to forecast and reduce coastal risks. The development of highly sophisticated numerical models during the last decades has underpinned the simulation of beach morphological evolution due to wave impacts. However, there are still some fundamental aspects, such as the bathymetric uncertainty, that needs to be regularly updated in the modelling chain to avoid a worthless forecast. It is also very well known that the surf zone is the most highly dynamic area although the bathymetry changes between certain limits. In this work, we explore the influence of bathymetric changes in morphodynamic forecasts. XBEACH is used to model the morphological response of a dissipative urban low-lying sandy coastal stretch (Barcelona, Spain) for different forecasted storms to determine the uncertainty bands of predicted coastal erosion and flooding. We consider as benchmarks the results of XBEACH simulations fed with the bathymetric information taken from existing nautical charts. An analysis of the possible beach states of the studied area following the Wright and Short (1984) is later performed to determine a range of topo-bathymetric configurations that will be used to run the model again. These new simulations are used to determine the uncertainty of the erosion and flooding results. The energy content of the storm in terms of intensity and duration uncertainty is also considered in the analysis. The proposed ensemble approach will serve to determine the likelihood of the modelling forecast outputs. Such statistical characterization is aligned with ensemble forecasting in meteo-oceanographic fields and will provide robust information for coastal decision making, for instance when considering proactive rapid deployment measures against a forecasted storm.</p>

Abstract The following trace fossils have been recognised in the Lower Muschelkalk of Raciborowice Gorne (North Sudetic Synclinorium, SW Poland): Archaeonassa fossulata, Balanoglossites triadicus, ?Gastrochaenolites isp., Lockeia isp., Palaeophycus tubularis, Palaeophycus isp., ?Planolites beverleyensis, P. montanus, Planolites isp., ?Protovirgularia isp., Rhizocorallium commune var. auriforme, R. commune var. irregulare, R. jenense, Skolithos linearis, Thalassinoides suevicus and Trypanites weisei. Coprolites and an unidentified trace fossil A are also described. The trace fossils allow the discrimination of five ichnoassociations in the Raciborowice Gorne section: (IA 1) Rhizocorallium- Pholeus, (IA 2) Rhizocorallium-Palaeophycus, (IA 3) Thalassinoides, (IA 4) Trypanites-Balanoglossites and (IA 5) Planolites-Palaeophycus. The Lower Muschelkalk succession was deposited on a shallow carbonate ramp affected by frequent storms. Deposition commenced with sedimentation in a restricted lagoon on the inner ramp with a short episode of sabkha formation. It continued on the middle and outer ramp and then on a skeletal shoal of the outer ramp and in an open basin. Ichnoassociation IA 5 is related to a maximum transgression that commenced with the deposition of the Spiriferina Bed and which probably marked the opening of the Silesian-Moravian Gate. The basin underwent two shallowing episodes, as evidenced by ichnoassociations IA 3-IA 4, resulting in the formation of hardgrounds. Bathymetric changes in the Raciborowice Gorne section correspond well with a general transgressive trend in the Germanic Basin.
