ABSTRACT

Coastal, estuarine, fluvial and submarine morphodynamics encompass some of the leading processes shaping

our planet and stems mainly, but not only, from the interaction of water in motion and movable sediment

boundaries resulting in morphological changes produced by erosion, transport and deposition of sediments that

generate a variety of landscapes and seascapes over time. Morphodynamics allows for a better understanding

and interpretation of self adjustments in drainage basins, longitudinal river profiles and shorelines shapes, as

well as characteristic features such as beach cusps, bed forms such as dunes, and channel patterns.
