Tidal creeks are widespread and abundant estuarine ecosystems, yet their ecological relevance is undervalued as reflected by the lack of research on these systems relative to larger, better-known estuarine systems (e.g. the Chesapeake Bay, the Albemarle–Pamlico Sound System, Florida Bay, to name a few). These better-known large estuaries contain numerous tidal creeks which, in comparison to the...

Managing models and schemas pertaining to different parts of the marine information domain is an important part of the U.S. Coast Guard R&D Center's proposed Waterway Information Network. This paper describes our approach to distributed model and schema management and an architecture for facilitating the use of formal artificial intelligence concepts in application development with XML.

The river Rhine is one of Europe’s busiest waterways and part the Rhine-Alpine corridor. In 2018 experienced a severe low discharge extreme. This impacted river’s transport capacity for period several months, causing shortages source materials fuels in regions far in-land. Historically, prolonged droughts this magnitude are not uncommon. Concerns have been raised, however, that climate change m...
