They are areas that combine a high biodiversity and productivity with economic potential for, communication, agricultural production and industrial production. Many societies have developed in the transition zone between the river and the sea because of its closeness to aquatic and terrestrial food and its key position for trade and transport. Most of the regions with the highest population density are concentrated in coastal zones. Estuaries are dynamic systems where hydrology closely interacts with ecology, hydraulics, morphology, water quality and water management. This open session invites papers on estuaries from a hydrological perspective, but interacting with these other disciplines. Hence topics on tides, salt intrusion, water management, morphology, ecology, sediment dynamics, water quality and pollution transport are welcomed. Papers are invited on these themes and will be submitted for publication in HESS, subject to the usual peer review.
