abstract = {This Thesis is about coastal environments processes linked to a set of factors that drive and
control the dynamic of two main basis elements that co-evolve in time and space: water and sediment.
The interplay between these two elements introduces the termhydro-morphodynamics
as the mutual coupling and bidirectional readjustment of the fluxes of water and sediments and
the surface morphology of subaqueous landscapes. The methodology followed to address this
feedback interaction is based on the employment of high-resolution, physically-based numerical
models and on the self-development of simplified long-term hydro-morphodynamic models.
These numerical models provide virtual laboratories that allow to quantitatively investigate
the physical processes that produce the rich diversity of coastal landforms. We apply these numerical
methods to several morphological units of the coastal environment, encompassing the
different regions of coastal environments, from the coastal plain to the continental shelf, and
including the intermediate shoreface. These morphological units are controlled by a set of environmental
conditions that provide the energy responsible for their evolution. Among these
environmental conditions, this work focuses on morphological units dominated by terrestrial
(river-dominated) or by marine (tide-dominated) sources of coastal energy.
The structure of this Thesis is then based on a sequential methodology organized around the
spatial zonation of different coastal units subjected to fluvial or tidal sources of energy responsible
for their evolution.},
