Various development projects occurring on the coast cause an imbalance of surface sediments, causing coastal disasters or irreversible erosion. Coastal erosion caused by influence various port structures built through can be directly identified evaluating changes in sediment budget, long-shore sediment, and cross-shore sediment. In other words, it will possible to evaluate causality between cla...

The dependency between the accuracy/uncertainty of storm erosion exceedance estimates obtained via a probabilistic model and the level of sophistication of the structural function (storm erosion model) embedded in the probabilistic model is assessed via the application of Callaghan et al.'s (2008) Joint Probability Model (JPM) at Narrabeen beach, Australia with three different structural functi...

The Mississippi River Delta is a major center for transportation, industry, human population and ecosystem services. Critical areas included energy production, navigation, fisheries, flood protection of coastal communities, restoration damaged habitats. Complex environmental management in great river system requires broad-base complex science, engineering monitoring. A national state objective ...

Interpretation of remote sensing reflectance from coastal waters at different wavelengths of light yields valuable information about water column constituents, which in turn, gives information on a variety of processes occurring in coastal waters, such as primary production, biogeochemical cycles, sediment transport, coastal erosion, and harmful algal blooms. The Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (...

Title of thesis: INFLUENCES OF WAVE CLIMATE AND SEA LEVEL ON SHORELINE EROSION RATES IN THE MARYLAND CHESAPEAKE BAY Jia Gao, Master of Science, 2015 Thesis directed by: Professor Lawrence P. Sanford, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) SWAN and a parametric wave model implemented by the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) were used to simulate wave climate from 1985 to 2005...

Abstract Riverbank erosion often compels affected people to migrate from their respective communities. However, there are still many who do not leave the region. The research focuses on this particular group of non-migrant populations living in erosion-prone Ramdaspur village Bhola district Bangladesh, explore how influences (non-)migration decision. We interviewed households study village. Mor...
