A realistic non-linear 1D numerical model, incorporating changes in both breadth and bottom depth, was employed to investigate the involved effects. The findings reveal a significant amplification of the M2 tidal wave towards the upper region of the Estuary, resulting from the gradual deepening caused by multiple dredging operations. The Estuary exhibits a pronounced tendency towards resonance, which is further enhanced by its deepening, resulting in reduced bottom friction and a smaller decrease in tidal wave amplitude as it propagates through the Estuary. The alterations in depth, particularly in breadth, along the Estuary play a crucial role in determining the magnitude of the resonant response of the M2 tidal wave.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Hydrodynamical model, Guadalquivir Estuary, Tidal dynamics Amplification, Bottom depth changes}, title = {A numerical simulation study of the hydrodynamic effects caused by morphological changes in the Guadalquivir River Estuary}, doi = {10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.166084}, author = {Sirviente Alonso, Sara and Sánchez Rodríguez, Jairo and Gómiz Pascual, Juan Jesús and Bolado Penagos, Marina and Sierra Padilla, Ana and Ortega Díaz, Teodora and Álvarez Esteban, Óscar and Forja Pajares, Jesús and Bruno Mejías, Miguel}, }
