Longshore transport experiments were conducted in a large-scale physical model to evaluate predictions of the CERC formula with measured longshore sediment transport rates. It was found that the CERC formula produced reasonable estimates if the coefficient K was calibrated and applied to waves with similar breaker type. The calibrated K values are much smaller than values that are commonly used...

INTRODUCTION: SSS has been used to map the sea bottom and search for submerged objects since the 1960's (Fleming, 1976). Recent experiments by CERC and the Buffalo District have shown SSS to be useful for inspecting both sloping coastal structures (i.e., rubble-mound jetties and breakwaters) and vertical-wall structures (i.e., concrete caissons and timber cribs). SSS is an adaptation of high-fr...

A field epidemiology manual (FEM) training resource, the FEM wiki project, has been developed to support the European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training (EPIET) and to serve as resource for any training in intervention epidemiology. The project (www. femwiki.com) is the result of a collaboration between a team of experts from the City ehealth Research Centre (CeRC) of the School o...

Background: COVID-19, the disease caused by virus SARS-COV-2, can create serious respiratory problems, or even death, for those affected. Individuals who share messages about its risks and related risk reduction behaviors have potential to make a broader health impact. Early in pandemic, some individuals made homemade masks address limited supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) posted th...
