A 3D hydrodynamic/pollutant transport model was used to simulate the currents and pollutant transport in coastal areas. The bathymetric and shoreline data was provided to the model via a GIS module that operates in the ArcView GIS environment. The module is efficient and capable of generating bathymetric rectangular grids and shorelines of different resolution for open and closed boundary scena...

Coastal rivers often generate buoyant plumes at their mouth following high inflow rate events. This coastal water, especially in flooding season, collects freshwater runoff with a large number of sediments, which significantly affects the environment of the continent shelf. In the present study, the dynamics of a plume on a Southern Hemisphere coast has been studied using a 3D hydrodynamic mode...

coastal area sensitivity assessment is in fact, the assessment of an extraordinary ecological rich region, in spite of existing environmental polluting factors. this study has been based on established criteria and values. the aim of this sensitivity assessment has been to give objectivity to the boushehr province coastline region, so as to be able to pinpoint areas requiring ecological conserv...

Using box-counting and spatial regression, this paper analyzes the morphological characteristics of coastal settlement patterns and their spatial determinants, with a case of the Wen-Tai region on the Chinese eastern coast. Coastal settlement patterns, which reflect the interactions between people and the surrounding environment, can indicate the anthropogenic pressure sustained in the coastal ...

following the collapse of the soviet :union: and the discovery of gas and oil in central asia and caucasia, it faced complex interests in the international political economy. these problems were mainly rooted in developing plans of the countries for increasing their influence in the area and also in russia's connections with the iranian and turkish governments in the region. this paper inv...

The Coastal Ocean Action Strategies (COAST) Institute was created in 1989 within the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences to assist in coastal zone management and coastal marine policy analysis. We do this by exploring future scenarios for Long Island's coastline and coastal environment and by working with policy makers and environmental managers in identifying and analyzing strategies tha...

Despite the fact that scientific and political consideration for ecosystem services has dramatically increased over the past decade, few studies have focused on marine and coastal ecosystem services for conservation strategies. We used an ecosystem services approach to assess spatial distributions of habitat risks and four ecosystem services (coastal protection, carbon storage, recreation, and ...

Ecotourism in coastal cities is becoming more and popular as a new way of tourism. The experience tourists’ comfort the environmental decoration art have become an important indicator affecting quality ecotourism. Based on statistical analysis climate resources certain area eastern area, this paper establishes grid calculation model factors by using multiple linear regression method uses data a...
