• Are flow-vegetation interactions well represented by mimics? A case study of mangrove pneumatophores 

  Horstman, Erik M.; Bryan, Karin R.; Mullarney, Julia C.; Pilditch, Conrad A.; Eager, Christopher Andrews (Elsevier, 2018)

  Arrays of real mangrove pneumatophores (i.e. aboveground pencil roots) and artificial dowel mimics were constructed in a laboratory flume to examine differences in canopy flow dynamics. Compared to the uniform-height dowel ...

  

• Beach response to a sequence of extreme storms 

  Coco, Giovanni; Senechal, Nadia; Rejas, A.; Bryan, Karin R.; Capo, S.; Parisot, J.P.; Brown, Jenna A.; MacMahan, Jamie H.M. (Elsevier, 2013)

  A sequence of daily beach surveys acquired over one month covering an area larger than 100,000 m2, was analyzed to study morphological changes resulting from a cluster of storms. The beach response was highly variable in ...

• Blind testing of shoreline evolution models. 

  Montaño, Jennifer; Coco, Giovanni; Antolínez, Jose A.A.; Beuzen, Tomas; Bryan, Karin R.; Cagigal, Laura; Castelle, Bruno; Davidson, MarkA.; Goldstein, Evan B.; Ibaceta, Raimundo; Idier, Déborah; Ludka, Bonnie C.; Masoud-Ansari, Sina; Méndez, Fernando J.; Murray, A. Brad; Plant, NathanielG.; Ratliff, Katherine M.; Robinet, Arthur; Rueda, Ana; Sénéchal, Nadia; Simmons, JoshuaA.; Splinter, Kristen D.; Stephens, Scott; Townend, Ian; Vitousek, Sean; Vos, Kilian (2020)

  Beaches around the world continuously adjust to daily and seasonal changes in wave and tide conditions, which are themselves changing over longer time-scales. Different approaches to predict multi-year shoreline evolution ...

  

• Buried Alive or Washed Away The Challenging Life of Mangroves in the Mekong Delta 

  Fagherazzi, Sergio; Bryan, Karin R.; Nardin, William (The Oceanography Society, 2017)

  Mangroves colonize tropical shorelines, protecting coastal communities and providing valuable ecosystem services. Mangroves associated with deltas cope with a very dynamic environment characterized by strong gradients in ...

  

• A commentary on coastal research in New Zealand universities 

  Kench, Paul S.; Bryan, Karin R.; Hart, Deirdre E.; Kennedy, David M.; Hilton, Michael J. (Wiley, 2008)

  University research in coastal geomorphology, processes and management has made a major contribution to the fundamental understanding of coastal systems in New Zealand over the past 43 years. This article examines the ...

• Hypsometric and geometric controls on hydrodynamics, tidal asymmetry, and sediment connectivity in shallow estuarine systems. 

  de Ruiter, Peter Jaap (The University of Waikato, 2022)

  Estuaries and tidal basins are highly dynamic coastal systems that serve as a transition zone between the river and the ocean. The morphological evolution of these diverse environments is modulated by non-linear feedbacks ...

  

• The role of the deposit feeding bivalve Macomona liliana in a simple biophysical model for predicting estuarine ecosystem tipping points 

  Thomson, Taylor Scott (The University of Waikato, 2022)

  Estuaries are highly productive, coastal marine environments that provide vital ecosystem functions supporting human health. Throughout history, many major settlements have been established adjacent to estuaries, so to ...

  

• Remote coastal monitoring of beach usage on Tairua Beach 

  May-Stanley, Bridgette Petra (The University of Waikato, 2021)

  Research that gathers data from public reporting is susceptible to population bias, which arises from a lack of knowledge on the probability of a person’s ability to witness an event. Data collection based on public reporting ...

  

• Attenuation of tides and storm surges in coastal mangroves 

  Montgomery, John (The University of Waikato, 2021)

  Mangrove forests have been shown to provide coastal protection by reducing waves, moderating currents, stabilizing sediments, and lessening storm winds. However, the interaction between storm surge and mangroves is less ...

  

• Understanding the potential exposure of coastal marae and urupā in Aotearoa New Zealand to sea level rise 

  Bailey-Winiata, Akuhata Patrick Stephen (The University of Waikato, 2021)

  In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori are Indigenous and have inhabited these islands for the past 700 years. They have an intricate physical and spiritual connection to places and the environment. This is reflected in the Māori ...
