Progression of erosion and waves near the shoreline during a berm erosion

Shoreline Modeling and Erosion Prediction

This paper presents a shoreline-erosion prediction model of Lake Erie that can forecast shoreline changes from annual to 10-year increments. It was developed by using historical bluffline data of years 1973, 1990, 1994, and 2000 at Lake Erie provided by NOAA and local government agencies. The relationships among these historical shorelines are analyzed using a least-squares method. Erosion rate...

Long term coastal erosion and shoreline positions of Sri Lanka

Coastal zone of Sri Lanka is a key to sustainable development of the country. The erosion of country’s coastal zone has been identified as a long standing problem. Therefore, coastal sediment dynamics around the country has to be identified to develop an appropriate coastal zone management plan. Remote sensing and GIS techniques can be used for quantitative and qualitative analyses of coastal p...

Ionospheric erosion by Alfvén waves

Abstract: Using observations from the FAST small explorer spacecraft we present fields and plasma observations above the dayside auroral oval showing the erosion of ionospheric plasmas from the topside ionosphere by the action of Alfvén waves. Using interferometric techniques the waves are shown to approximately obey the expected dispersion for Alfvén waves with transverse scales extending from...
