Reservoir Model of Ebb - Tidal Shoal Evolution and Sand Bypassing
A mathematical model is presented for calculating the change in volume and sand-bypassing rate at ebb-tidal shoals. Conceptually and mathematically, the ebb-tidal shoal is distinguished from bypassing bars that emerge from it and from attachment bars where the bypassing bars merge with the beach. The volumes and bypassing rates of these morphologic entities are calculated by analogy to a reserv...
متن کاملSand Movement patterns in the south of Iran
Wind regime data from the Jask meteorological station from a 20-year statistical period (1985-2005) was analyzedusing the Fryberger method to investigate sand drift potential (DP) in this area. The resultant drift potential anddirectional variability of wind were calculated and illustrated. Average annual sand DP was estimated to be 460vector units (VU), and the sand flux is 51 m3/m.year. There...
متن کاملEverglades restoration and water quality challenges in south Florida.
This paper provides background information and a brief overview of water quality issues for the rest of the papers in this volume that are concerned with Everglades restoration. The Everglades of Florida have been diminished over 50% of their former extent. The Everglades are no longer a free-flowing wetland ecosystem, but are now subject to a complicated system of water management that is regu...
متن کاملAnalysis of sand dunes to determine wind direction and detect sand source sites (case study: Khartooran Erg, Iran)
Wind regime and sand grain size are two of the factors that determine the morphology and dynamics of sand dunes in desert areas. Regarding the importance of wind effects on sand dunes especially in Iran, in this study, Khartooran Erg was analyzed to determine wind direction and to detect sand source sites. Khartooran Erg is located on eastern north of Iran and lies in Khorasan Razavi and Semnan...
متن کاملVirtual Florida Everglades
This paper was based on the design and development of a richly detailed three-dimensional virtual environment, which could be used to educate the public and promote ecological awareness, especially important for endangered environments like the Florida wetlands. The products of this research will result in a proposal and low-cost solution for a freestanding museum exhibit. This exhibit will all...
