Should we measure plutonium concentrations in marine sediments near Fukushima?
(Springer, 2013)
Pu contamination originating from Fukushima accident has not been detected in marine sediment samples collected outside a 30 km circle around the plant. It is shown, by means of numerical modelling, that if any impact ...

Self-cleaning in an estuarine area formerly affected by 226Ra anthropogenic enhancements: numerical simulations
(Elsevier, 2005)
A numerical model of the Odiel–Tinto estuary (Spain) has been developed to study the self-cleaning process that was evidenced from 226Ra measurements in water and sediments collected in the period 1999–2002, after direct ...

A set of rapid-response models for pollutant dispersion assessments in southern Spain coastal waters
(Elsevier, 2010)
Three rapid-response Lagrangian particle-tracking dispersion models have been developed for southern Spain coastal waters. The three domains cover the Gulf of Cádiz (Atlantic Ocean), the Alborán Sea (Med iterranean), and ...

Modelling the environmental behaviour of pollutants in Algeciras Bay (south Spain)
(Elsevier, 2012)
An environmental study of Algeciras Bay is carried out through numerical modelling. First, a 2D barotrop ic model is applied to calculate tides and mean circulation. Results of this model are used by a sediment transport ...

A numerical modeling study on oceanographic conditions in the former Gulf of Tartessos (SW Iberia): Tides and tsunami propagation
(Elsevier, 2014)
At least five catastrophic tsunami events have affected the Iberian Atlantic coasts during the last 7000 years. During this time, the former Gulf of Tartessos evolved towards the present marshland area, in the lower ...

Local scale marine modelling of Fukushima releases. Assessment of water and sediment contamination and sensitivity to water circulation description
(Elsevier, 2012)
The dispersion of 137Cs released from Fukushima nuclear power plant to the sea after the March 11th 2011 tsunami has been studied using numerical models. The 3D dispersion model consists of an advec tion/diffusion equation ...

Chemical and oil spill rapid response modelling in the Strait of Gibraltar–Alborán Sea
(Elsevier, 2007)
A numerical model that simulates the dispersion of contaminants, including oil spills, in the Strait of Gibraltar–Alboran Sea region has been developed. The hydrodynamic is solved in ´ advance and includes a barotropic ...

Modelling surface radioactive spill dispersion in the Alboran Sea
(Elsevier, 2006)
The Strait of Gibraltar and the Albora´n Sea are the only connection between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Intense shipping activities occur in the area, including transport of waste radionuclides and ...

Tidal circulation, sediment and pollutant transport in Cádiz Bay (SW Spain): A modelling study
(Elsevier, 2013)
A numerical model to simulate the dispersion of particle-reactive tracers in Cádiz Bay (SW Spain) has been developed. It includes a hydrodynamic submodel to provide water currents, a sediment transport submodel, which ...

A modelling study on 137Cs and 239,240Pu behaviour in the Alborán Sea, western Mediterranean
(Elsevier, 2008)
A model for simulating the dispersion processes of 137Cs and 239,240Pu in the Alborán Sea is described. The model consists of two hydrodynamic models: a 2D depth-averaged model and a two-layer model which provide tidal and ...
