[1] Semi-enclosed bays and estuaries are usually protected from hurricane-generated storm surges. When a hurricane travels on the land side, however, it may induce high storm surges, strong currents and destratification in the water column. Real-time observations and numerical model prediction both show a slab-like sloshing in Chesapeake Bay when it was hit by Hurricane Isabel in September 2003...

Fulfilling the growing water demand, at domestic, industrial and agriculture level, is the most challenging task and groundwater plays the most important role for achieving this demand. In this scenario, proper management of groundwater resources is the most required act, as unmanaged groundwater extraction may cause shrinking of aquifer, sea water intrusion and water quality problems. The simu...

The Henry formulation, which couples subsurface flow and salt transport via a variable-density flow formulation, can be used to evaluate the extent of sea water intrusion into coastal aquifers. The coupling gives rise to nontrivial flow patterns that are very different from those observed in inland aquifers. We investigate the influence of these flow patterns on the transport of conservative co...

abstract   background : natural uranium exists in earth crust and seawater. the concentration of uranium might increase by human manipulation or geological changes. the aim of this study was to verify susceptibility of laser flourimetry method to determine the uranium concentration in caspian sea and persian gulf water.   materials and methods : laser flourimetric method was used to determine t...

Climate change and sea level rise as both have the potential to affect saltwater intrusion into coastal area. The aim of this study is finding seawater influence on area freshwater. To purpose, it conducted groundwater aquifer freshwater its electrical characteristics by resistivity survey in Muara Asam-Asam Village, South Kalimantan. It channeled from three different positions find impacts wel...

Micropuncture techniques have been used to investigate kidney function in lampreys adapted to hyperosmotic media. Plasma electrolyte concentrations were maintained well below corresponding concentrations in the external environment. Urine composition was variable, but generally showed high concentrations of magnesium, sulphate and chloride ions. Lampreys in 50% sea water produced urine which wa...

BARIC, A.; GRBEC, B., and BOGNER, D., 2008. Potential implications of sea-level rise for Croatia. Journal of Coastal Research, 24(2), 299–305. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The Croatian coastline is long compared with the total national surface area. The coastal zone is mainly karstic and steep, with only one large alluvial plain, and contains approximately one-quarter of the total...
