JJ.Jiao Land reclamation has played a significant role in the urban development process in many coastal areas in the world. While reclamation provides valuable land, it also creates various coastal engineering, environmental and marine ecological problems. These problems directly caused by reclamation have been well recognized and widely studied. However, it has not been recognized yet that rec...

In oceanography, there has been a growing emphasis on coastal regions, partially because of their inherent complexity, as well as the increasing acknowledgment of anthropogenic impacts. To improve understanding and characterization of coastal dynamics, there has been significant effort devoted to the development of autonomous systems that sample the ocean on relevant scales. Autonomous underwat...

In order to maintain the biotic integrity and performance of coastal marine ecosystems affected by human population growth and economic development an ecosystem approach to management is required. This is particularly challenging when, as is the case for many coastal ecosystems, development activities on land, often far removed from the coast, have a major impact on the coastal environment. The...

breaking waves have ability to transport large quantities of sediment and significant impact on coastal structures morphology. hence, modeling of wave breaking is an important subject in coastal and marine engineering. in this research, the periodic wave breaking process on a plane slope is studied experimentally and numerically. laboratory experiments were conducted to record water surface ele...

There are over 60,000 miles (100,000 km) of coastal highways in the United States (US) that occasionally exposed to waves and water levels. Wise stewardship calls for integration engineering principles practices planning design these roads bridges make them more resilient. A new, 3rd, edition primary guidance document Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 25 (HEC-25), entitled “Highways Coastal En...

All available wind data associated with Hurricane Andrew’s passage were analyzed for periods corresponding to landfall south of Miami and emergence from southwest Florida. At landfall in southeast Florida, maximum sustained 1-min surface wind speeds VM1 reached just over 60 m s01 in the northern eyewall over land; by the time Andrew exited the Florida peninsula, the peak value of VM1 over land ...

Marine aquaculture is expanding rapidly without reliable quantification of effluents. The present study focuses on understanding the transport of dissolved wastes from aquaculture pens in near-coastal environments using the hydrodynamics code SUNTANS (Stanford Unstructured Nonhydrostatic Terrain-following Adaptive Navier–Stokes Simulator), which employs unstructured grids to compute flows in th...
