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

The interaction of buoyant river plumes with vegetation and consequences for sediment transport and deposition in coastal regions
(The University of Waikato, 2023)Mangrove forests are one of the most prominent vegetated coastal habits in tropical and subtropical areas. These wetland ecosystems typically inhabit estuaries and tidally influenced river banks. The presence of trees helps ... -
Hypsometric and geometric controls on hydrodynamics, tidal asymmetry, and sediment connectivity in shallow estuarine systems
(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
(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
(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
(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 ...
