New publication

New publication on short-term beach morphodynamics

Short-term beach morphodynamics induced by the incidence of a fierce storm (Emma) that impacted the a reflective beach (Faro Beach, in S. Portugal) in early 2018 and the subsequent beach recovery w…

Recent publication

Combined efforts from University of Algarve and IHE-Delft have resulted on the development of a new modelling approach that integrates aeolian and marine processes in 1D to understand how our beaches and dunes will adapt to future. This new solution has been published in the Journal of Environmental Modelling & Software, with the title “Coupling nearshore and aeolian processes: XBeach and duna process-based models”.

Introducing ENLACE page

Welcome message

Welcome to ENLACE website.
ENLACE is a research project aiming at developing solutions to help understanding and predicting the adaptation of sandy coasts at long-term coupling marine and aeolian processes. This website will be the vehicle through which we will try to keep all interested readers informed about the progress of the research effort.
