HPCCprojects:Coupling fluvial discharge and coastal evolution models

Coupling fluvial discharge and coastal evolution models

introduction

Provide a brief introduction of what your project is all about

Objective

• Are humans responsible for the formation of the modern Ebro Delta?
  • What is the timing (and style) of the Ebro Delta’s evolution?
  • Have humans exerted a first-order control on the fluvial delivery of sediment by the Ebro River to the coast?
  • Does wave angle climate act as a first-order control on the morphology and progradation rates of the Ebro (and other wave-influenced deltas)?
