in coastal areas, hydrodynamic factors make changes in shorelines geomorphology. this can affect coastal facilities and cause hazards to human societies in the areas. this study has investigated the influence of wave and tide properties on khamir port, hormoz strait in coast of persian gulf. the purpose of the study is to make a mathematical regional and local modeling of water level fluctuatio...

to understand the present status of metal contamination along the haiphong-halong coast, the concentrations of as, cd, cr, cu, pb, and zn were seasonally determined in rock oysters from four sites during 2013. the results indicated that a high concentration of heavy metals was found in oysters. the average concentrations of zn and cu were extremely high, ranging from 823.6–3201.6 and 238.1–1597...

The regular echinoids were recorded from Chennai Coast,Tamilnadu, South India and the animals were belong to 4 families, 5 genera and 5 species. An identification key to generic level and synoptic description are provided. Temnopleurid sea urchin Salmaciella oligopora (Clark, 1916) was recorded for the first time in 20-30m depth between Chennai and Pondicherry Coasts, South East Coast of India....

assessment of long term erosion and accretion rate of the coastal area is essential for selectionof different types of coastal structures. for example, it is not advisable to develop housing infrastructure onthe coast, which is historically eroding. similarly it is not preferable to select an accreting site for theconstruction of a port in order to avoid annual maintenance dredging after constr...

Data on radiocarbon (14C), 137Cs, 210Pb, and 241Am levels in an ombrotrophic peat sequence from a montane site on the east coast of Ireland are compared with data from a similar sequence at an Atlantic peatland site on the west coast. The 14C profiles from the west and east coasts show a broadly similar pattern. Levels increase from 100 pMC or less in the deepest horizons examined, to peak valu...

This paper proposes a microeconomic decomposition of the evolution of income inequality in Côte d’Ivoire in the 1990s, allowing to disentangle the simultaneous contributions of four types of phenomena to the evolution of the distribution of income: a change in the remuneration rates of the observed and unobserved earnings determinants, a change in the occupational preferences, and a change in t...
