The resulting model of sediment transport was able to reproduce,in a general way, the sediment dispersion patterns furnished by geomorphic indicators of the littoral drift.These dispersion patterns control the generation of different types of sediment accumulations and of coastalstretches under erosion. We demonstrate that the presence of the Abrolhos and Corumbaú Point coral reefs isan important factor controlling the sediment dispersion patterns, since them act as a large protection againstthe waves action. 2000 artículo científico 0001-3765 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32772212 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=327 Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências application/pdf Academia Brasileira de Ciências Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.72 |
