In the paper proper, we describe CUBISM and illustrate some of the major analytical c...
متن کاملCost analysis of water and sediment diversions to optimize land building in the Mississippi River delta
[1] Land loss in the Mississippi River delta caused by subsidence and erosion has resulted in habitat loss and increased exposure of settled areas to storm surge risks. There is debate over the most cost-efficient and geomorphologically feasible projects to build land by river diversions, namely, whether a larger number of small, or a lesser number of large, engineered diversions provide the mo...

I estimated the proportional losses of Sacramento River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and del...
