Simulation of the marine environment has become an important tool across a wide range of human activities, with applications in coastal engineering, offshore industries, fisheries management, marine pollution monitoring, weather forecasting and climate research to name but a few. Hydrodynamic models have been under development for many years and have reached a high level of sophistication. Howe...

we measured the impacts of coastal modification on beach erosion and beach retreat conditions, selecting the miankaleh region as an example of a complex high-pressure free zone with high levels of engineering and tourism activity. nine sampling transects, stretching from the shoreline to a 10 meter depth, were defined and 36 sediment samples were collected from the sea bed at depths of 1, 3, 5,...

There is great interest in the restoration and conservation of coastal habitats for protection from flooding and erosion. This is evidenced by the growing number of analyses and reviews of the effectiveness of habitats as natural defences and increasing funding world-wide for nature-based defences-i.e. restoration projects aimed at coastal protection; yet, there is no synthetic information on w...

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) has sponsored several reconnaissance teams to survey effects of the great East Japan earthquake and Tohoku tsunami. The first of these was the tsunami team, which traveled to Japan from April 15 to May 1, 2011, and focused on tsunami effects on coastal buildings, bridges, port facilities and coastal protective structures. All seven members of the t...

On March 30, 1983, EPA sponsored a conference in Washington, D.C., entitled "Effects of Sea Level Rise on the Economy and Environment." Reviewers from several disciplines were asked to comment on papers that subsequently were revised into Chapters 1 to 7 of this book in light of their experience in areas that would be affected by a sea level rise. Some of these comments follow. Sherwood Gaglian...

Abstract In this study, three machine learning techniques, the XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting), LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory Networks), and ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Model), are utilized to deal with time series prediction tasks for coastal bridge engineering. The performance of these techniques is comparatively demonstrated in typical cases, wave-load-on-deck under re...
