Impacts on Coralligenous Outcrop Biodiversity of a Dramatic Coastal Storm
Extreme events are rare, stochastic perturbations that can cause abrupt and dramatic ecological change within a short period of time relative to the lifespan of organisms. Studies over time provide exceptional opportunities to detect the effects of extreme climatic events and to measure their impacts by quantifying rates of change at population and community levels. In this study, we show how a...
متن کاملCoastal storm characterization and morphological impacts on sandy coasts
The present work deals with storm classification, using the Storm Power Index, and beach morphological response to storm events in the Gulf of Cadiz (SW Spain). Over the 1958–2001 period, 377 events divided into five classes ranging from ‘weak’ to ‘extreme’ were characterized. Classes I (weak) and II (moderate) accounted for 60% and 23% of events, respectively. Class III (significant), were 9% ...
متن کاملImpacts on the Deep-Sea Ecosystem by a Severe Coastal Storm
Major coastal storms, associated with strong winds, high waves and intensified currents, and occasionally with heavy rains and flash floods, are mostly known because of the serious damage they can cause along the shoreline and the threats they pose to navigation. However, there is a profound lack of knowledge on the deep-sea impacts of severe coastal storms. Concurrent measurements of key param...
متن کاملClimate Change and Storm Surges: Assessing Impacts on Your Coastal City Through Mike Flood Modeling
The effects of climate change on sea levels and coastal flooding are some of the most prevailing issues in the engineering industry today. In this study, a comprehensive procedure for detailed analysis of flooding from the sea under climate change conditions in a localized area was developed and applied. Through hydrodynamic and statistical modeling, detailed analysis of flooding from sea level...
متن کاملCoastal Urbanization Impacts on Biodiversity the Case of Marinas in Singapore
Most of Singapore’s coastline has been modified by coastal development with variable influences on marine biodiversity. Marinas are typically designed as a semienclosed environment with a complex mix of structures that provide ecological niches throughout the water body. Water flow is inevitably reduced with a possible decline of water quality. This investigation was conducted to determine how ...
