Response of tidal flow regime and sediment transport in North Malé Atoll, Maldives, to coastal modification and sea level rise
<p>Changes to coastlines and bathymetry alter tidal dynamics and associated sediment transport processes, impacting upon a number of threats facing coastal regions, including flood risk and erosion. Especially vulnerable are coral atolls such as those that make up the Maldives archipelago, whi...
