Continental Shelf Research

Low-tide rainfall events can strongly influence sediment dynamics in intertidal systems, but their role remains understudied, especially in engineered environments such as Managed Realignment (MR) sites. This research investigates how natural precipitation influences suspended sediment concentrations (SSC), bed elevation, and sediment fate at Pagham Harbour, a historic unManaged Realignment (uMR)…

• Understanding cave tides improves knowledge of coastal cave environments. • Water level changes in cave pools are influenced by external coastal tides. • Current POS growth aligns with modern sea level oscillations. • POS mark ancient sea levels and tide range in coastal caves. • POS serve as reliable proxies for both past and present sea levels.
