| Abstract |
|
Morphodynamics of tidal lagoons is controlled by several forcing factors. While tidal currents are the dominant factor in the channels, waves are definitely important both on the shoals inside the lagoon and on the seaside near the inlet. In these zones, in fact, tidal currents are generally too weak for entraining the sediments from the bottom, although currents are responsible for the transport of the particles put in suspension by the waves. In some cases (e.g. the lagoon of Venice before the river diversion between the XIV and XVI centuries) also the fluvial input is a substantial component of the sediment budget. Finally, soil subsidence and rising of the sea level (eustatism) also play a fundamental role in the balance, as well as the compaction rate on vegetated marshes. Added by: Dott. Alessandro Meggiato |
