Economic Valuation of Beach Erosion Control Programs

In this study, we employ a choice-based conjoint survey design to elicit individual choices of beach erosion control programs that can potentially cause multiple effects on beach environment. Two empirical choice models which incorporate individual heterogeneity, are used to analyze and compare the elicited individual choices of erosion control programs. Our results show that to a typical indiv...

Next Generation Coatings for Erosion-Corrosion Protection Sprayable protection in extreme erosion environments

The erosion-corrosion environments found in fluid conveying components such as pipelines, pumps, agitators and chutes have important implications for both service life and maintenance cost. The destructive synergy wrought when corrosion occurs in combination with erosion can be many times greater than the sum of each mechanism acting in isolation. A factory applied coating, if present, will hav...

Protection from Erosion Following Wildfire

Erosion in the first year after a wildfire can be up to three orders of magnitude greater than the erosion from undisturbed forests. To mitigate potential postfire erosion, various erosion control treatments are applied on highly erodible areas with downstream resources in need of protection. Because postfire erosion rates generally decline by an order of magnitude for each year of recovery, ef...
