In this paper, the first gravity values at 16 Norwegian stations measured by a modern absolute gravimeter of the FG5 type are presented. The gravity observations were corrected for Earth tides, varying atmospheric pressure, polar motion, and ocean
tide loading. The ocean tide loading corrections were subject to special attention. A model based on locally observed ocean tides was applied at some of the stations. The authors estimated the total uncertainties of the gravity values to range from 3

Analysis of historical survey and navigation charts, aerial imagery, and digital hydro-data (representing a time-series of 1889-2009) allows the morphological evolution of a flood-tide delta at the artificial entrance to the Gippsland Lakes
(Victoria, Australia) to be visualised and quantified. The analysis shows that the flood-tide delta growth corresponds with a progressive diminution of Gippsland Lakes catchment river discharge volumes, and dampening of flow variability, due to both regional

Migration and internal architecture of marine dunes in the eastern English Channel over 14 and 56 year intervals : the influence of tides and decennial storms
and seismic data over the periods 1937–1993 and 1993–2007. The dune internal architecture is complex with superimposed eastward prograding units, displaying locally opposite progradation. The role of tide and storms on dune dynamics are discussed as well
that tidally generated weathering and debris removal is an effective erosional mechanism, particularly at the elevation of the lowest high tides. Furthermore, even if only one or two mechanisms were dominant in an area, any resulting relationship between

La tempête Xynthia du 28 février 2010 a coïncidé avec une pleine mer de grande marée. La conjonction d’un phénomène météorologique violent et d’un niveau de la mer très élevé a provoqué une très grave inondation du littoral du sud de la Vendée. Elle
This work, based upon the results of 4 tide-gauges : Władysławowo, Hel, Gdynia and Gdansk-Harbour, presents the relative changes of sea level and a determination of its quantitative and qualitative variability in the eastern part of the coast along

Seasonal variation in seabed elevation in the muddy intertidal zone of the Chao Phraya River delta was assessed using information on waves and tides predicted by numerical simulations. Observations, aimed at evaluating the effectiveness
