This study deals with the morphological evolution of this zone from 1978 to 2005, in particular the impact of the construction on the Northern intertidal mudflat at the mouth of the Seine estuary located between the new Le Havre port (Port 2000
Rock warming and drying under simulated intertidal conditions, part II : weathering and biological influences on evaporative cooling and near-surface micro-climatic conditions as an example of biogeomorphic ecosystem engineering
, the efficiency of evaporative cooling. The retention of moisture by epilithic biofilms may also influence thermal and drying behaviours of granite. These observations represent one of the first examples of cross-scalar biogeomorphic linkages in the intertidal
zone. The significance of the results for the subsequent efficiency of weathering, and near-surface micro-climatic conditions experienced by colonizing organisms is discussed. The involvement of microorganisms in the creation of more (or less
The aim of this paper is to investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of intertidal rip channels and their relation with offshore wave characteristics and with subtidal rip channel characteristics on a microtidal, storm-dominated beach. A 15
of the number of rip channels, spacing and migration rates demonstrated the daily behaviour of the intertidal rip channels and revealed a coupling with hydrodynamic parameters as well as subtidal rip channel characteristics. Coupling of the intertidal
and subtidal alongshore bar rhythmicities confirmed the influence of the subtidal morphology on the intertidal bar system.

of the intertidal profile, based on the hydrodynamic variations over a tidal cycle on a macrotidal beach. The model is successful in predicting the broad pattern of increasing grain size in the onshore direction which has been observed in nature.
This paper reports on an experimental investigation of short- and long-term variations in the water content of intertidal rocks of shore platforms in eastern Canada : it is concerned only with alternate wetting and drying although similar
Here the AA. use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to examine microbial colonization and micro-scale geomorphological features on experimental blocks of limestone, granite and marine concrete after eight months'exposure in the intertidalzone
processes in the intertidalzone. The implications of differences in initial biogeomorphic responses of materials for long-term rock weathering, ecology and engineering durability are discussed.

The aim of this paper is to address 2 main objectves : to put forward a critical review of the methods available to map and monitor intertidal habitats; then, to test at a specific site whether a new simplified method (mainly based on georeferenced

the intertidal sedimentation has followed the rate of relative sea-level rise, at least over the last ∼2000 years, whereas the trends in sediment accumulation rates on the sandy tidal flat in the eastern and exposed part of the lagoon are less clear. The AA
. Furthermore, they conclude that sheltered mudflats appear to give the best description of how intertidal sedimentation responds to sea-level fluctuations.
